Alright in the Calm

Intro

(ohhh) soft like the rain

fading away

Verse

empty chair by the fire

coffee gone cold in the cup

your coat still hangs on the line

but the wind don't carry it up

days stretch long like the road

that you drove out of sight

I'm breathing still, but it's quiet

under these gray afternoon lights

Pre-chorus

no more words left to say

just the ache that won't fade

Chorus

I'm alright in the calm

but it hurts just the same

like a wave pulling back

leaving sand in its wake

I'm alright, I'm alright

(I'm alright) in the calm

but it hurts just the same

Verse

old letters tucked in a drawer

faded ink from your hand

I trace the curves one more time

try to remember the plan

nights wrap around like a blanket

heavy but warm all the same

stars blink out one by one

calling your name

Chorus

I'm alright in the calm

but it hurts just the same

like a wave pulling back

leaving sand in its wake

I'm alright, I'm alright

(I'm alright) in the calm

but it hurts just the same

(just the same)

Bridge

maybe someday the sun

will burn through this haze

but tonight I'm just holding

these pieces you left in their place

(ohhh) holding on slow

Chorus

I'm alright in the calm

but it hurts just the same

like a wave pulling back

leaving sand in its wake

I'm alright, I'm alright

(I'm alright) in the calm

but it hurts just the same

Outro

(ohhh) soft like the rain

fading away

fading away
