STORM INSIDE ME [Intro – soft] Sometimes I wake up and I could hold the whole world in my arms. Sometimes I just wanna close the curtains and disappear. I know them both. The light. And the darkness. And somewhere in between there’s me. [Verse 1] I can laugh until the tears start falling, cry until I laugh again. Wake up ready to move mountains, by the night I’m asking how I’ll stand. I know that feeling, flying higher, when suddenly there’s nothing I can’t do. And I know days without an answer, when even sunlight can’t break through. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don’t need to understand why everything keeps turning ’round. Maybe part of learning how to fly is knowing how it feels to hit the ground. [Chorus] There’s a storm inside me, somewhere between the sun and rain. Between “I want it all!” and “I can’t do this again.” Between joy and sorrow, between the high and deep, between a thousand feelings that nobody else can see. There’s a storm inside me, but I’m not afraid anymore. ’Cause somewhere after thunder, there’s always light beyond the storm. [Drop] Oh-oh-oh, storm inside me. Oh-oh-oh, it’s a part of me. Today I’m flying, tomorrow I’m deep, but as long as my heart keeps beating, I know I’m alive. [Verse 2] Sometimes I’m way too loud, sometimes you won’t hear a word from me. Sometimes I need a hundred people, sometimes four walls are all I need. I’ve danced when I was breaking, worn a smile through all the hurt. I’ve thrown everything away at midnight and started over with the morning sun. I know fear. I know courage. I know, “Somehow, this will pass.” I know nights filled up with questions and mornings when I want it all again. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe life was never meant to only be blue skies. Maybe after flying high sometimes the rain has got to fall. [Chorus] There’s a storm inside me, somewhere between the sun and rain. Between “I want it all!” and “I can’t do this again.” Between joy and sorrow, between the high and deep, between a thousand feelings that nobody else can see. There’s a storm inside me, but I’m not afraid anymore. ’Cause somewhere after thunder, there’s always light beyond the storm. [Bridge – emotional] I don’t wanna fight myself anymore. Not every low has to disappear. Not every tear means that I’ve lost my way. Maybe I can feel the sadness and still love the life I’m living. Maybe I can hit the ground and still keep reaching for the stars. [Build] I’m not just my good days. I’m not just my bad ones. I’m every laugh. Every tear. Every crash. Every new beginning. I am all of it. [Final Drop – huge] THERE’S A STORM INSIDE ME! Joy! Sorrow! High! And deep! Sometimes I’m flying over clouds, sometimes I fall beneath my feet. But I’ll get back up when another morning comes. ’Cause somewhere behind the clouds the sun is waiting for me. STORM INSIDE ME! I wanna feel that I’m alive! Wanna laugh, cry, dance until the ground shakes under me tonight! Every high! Every low! Every moment belongs to me! I don’t wanna lose a single part — ’cause all this life is inside me. [Outro – soft] Maybe rain today. Maybe sunshine tomorrow. And when the thunder comes again, I know: It will pass too. [whispered] Storm inside me.
