Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can get up on the right side of the bed
But that don't stop the rain from coming down on my head
I can live my life playing hide and seek
But when I look inside, it's hard to make believe
Ah-ha
Ooh-ha
[Verse 2]
And lately
You seem so far away
I wish I could say something, but I don't know what to say
I can feel your eyes, I don't have to look at you
Boy, discontentment is a sneakin' through
Ah-ha
[Chorus]
You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Ooh-whoa-whoa-yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Ah-ah
[Verse 3]
Don't you know you should be holding me?
But you're locked inside
Why don't you throw me your keys?
I'm like a rockin' ship on your rollin' sea
You know crash-down lightning never frightens me, nah-nah
[Chorus]
You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Oh-whoa-whoa-yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
[Bridge]
You never really want it
But when you really need it
I wanna give you something
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
You never really want anything
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Oh-whoa-whoa-yeah
But what you really need is everything
I'll give you something only life can bring
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
Oh-whoa-whoa-yeah
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
[Outro]
Oh, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, oh
The calm inside the storm
Love me a little, love me long
