Verse: I wish I could write the way my thoughts run wild, Like rivers through the valleys of a forgotten mile. I wish I could live the life I see when I close my eyes, A little wooden house beneath a kinder sky. I wish I could mend the cracks beneath my skin, And find the lost pieces I have buried deep within. I wish I could quiet the thunder in my head, And rest beside the dreams I leave unsaid. Chorus: Oh, I carry a storm that nobody can see, A restless ocean rising inside of me. I wish I could pause the hands of time, To hold my emptiness and understand its rhyme. I wish I knew the person hidden in my soul, The one I search for when the nights grow cold. Oh, if I could find the road back home, Maybe I would not feel so alone. Verse: I wish I could speak the language of my heart, Before the silence tears my words apart. I wish I could follow the stars I chase at night, And become the person living in my mind. I wish I could forgive the wounds I cannot hide, The shadows that walk with me by my side. I wish I could breathe without fighting the rain, And let the wind wash away my pain. Bridge: Maybe someday the morning will find me, With softer hands and a clearer sky. Maybe the pieces I lost in the darkness, Were only waiting for the light. If I could sit with my soul for a while, I might finally learn to love my own reflection and smile. Chorus: Oh, I carry a storm that nobody can see, A restless ocean rising inside of me. I wish I could pause the hands of time, To hold my emptiness and understand its rhyme. I wish I knew the person hidden in my soul, The one I search for when the nights grow cold. Oh, if I could find the road back home, Maybe I would not feel so alone.
