For every calm there is a storm

But it is often out of view

It changes paths, it changes forms

Just like our souls, like they often do

Broke the calm, strain in the back

I was born, driven by fear

And I don't think I'll ever understand

But I know I'll be runnin' for years

And I, I hope there's a higher ground

'Cause I'm going steadily down

And I know, I know I'll be alright

If I, if I just get through the night and

I love your way, oh I love you baby, don't mean maybe

I love your way, and oh you brighten and enlighten

I've been walkin', I've been walkin' sideways

Walkin' down the street

I won't look back for another minute

There's nothin' left to see

Oh, I took the long way

Oh, I took the long way

For every calm there is a storm

But it is often out of view

It changes paths, it changes forms

Just like our souls, like they often do

Broke the calm, strain in the back

I was born, driven by fear

And I don't think I'll ever understand

But I know I'll be runnin' for years

And I, I hope there's a higher ground

'Cause I'm going steadily down

And I know I'll be alright

If I, if I just get through the night and

I love your way, oh I love you baby, don't mean maybe

I love your way, and oh you brighten and enlighten

I've been walkin', I've been walkin' sideways

Walkin' down the street

I won't look back for another minute

There's nothin' left to see

Oh, I took the long way

Oh, I took the long way

Broke the calm, strain in the back

I was born, driven by fear

And I don't think I'll ever understand

But I know I'll be runnin' for years

And I, I hope there's a higher ground

'Cause I'm going steadily down

And I know I'll be alright

If I, if I just get through the night

I've been walkin', I've been walkin' sideways

Walkin' down the street

I won't look back for another minute

There's nothin' left to see

Oh, I took the long way

Oh, I took the long way
