Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm feeling pretty desperate for a hand hold
Mia's on the phone and headed straight to my place
Driving 87 on the backroads
Acting like a firefighter, ready to save
[Verse 2]
She finds me looking like a watercolor version of a person
My makeup running down my face
But nothing is forever, every bad note's
Only a half step away from sounding okay
[PreChorus]
Can't change the weather
Better let it run its course
[Chorus]
Shop Rite red wine on the kitchen floor
Bad day, worse night
When it rains, it pours
You'll find blue sky if you just hold on
You're in the storm before the calm
[Chorus]
Full cry in line at the grocery store
Late-night FaceTime with your mom up north
You'll find blue sky if you just hold on
You're in the storm before the calm
Before the calm
[Verse 3]
Nothing like the feeling of a head high
After sobbing every drop of sodium out
Finally moving dishes from your bedside
Logging off your ex's Apple TV account
[Verse 4]
Feeling silly, 'cause it really wasn't half of the disaster
You thought it was, when you were glued to the ground
Screaming like the Earth was outta sunlight
When it was only hiding under a cloud
[PreChorus]
Can't change the weather
Better let it run its course
[Chorus]
Shop Rite red wine on the kitchen floor
Bad day, worse night
When it rains, it pours
You'll find blue sky if you just hold on
You're in the storm before the calm
[Chorus]
Mint chip, whole pint with a plastic fork
Late-night FaceTime with your mom up north
You'll find blue sky if you just hold on
You're in the storm before the calm
Before the calm
[Bridge]
Go stand outside, it's an August warm
UV real high, resurrect your shorts
It's all blue sky, put your sunscreen on
That was the storm before the calm
[Outro]
Way more alright than you were before
Turns out that time is the only cure
It's all blue sky, now the thunder's gone
That was the storm before the calm
