Verse 1:
Old man on his way back home
Late from work today
Far out on a dirt road
And couldn't find his way
With tears in his eyes, he knew
There was no one in sight
And tried to tell himself
That it'll be alright
Chorus:
Why's it always darkest
Right before the dawn
If liars can be honest
Then right can be wrong
And when you find the doorway
Are you in or you out
You have to stand up
Before you fall down
You need to get lost
Before you get found
Interlude (Intro)
Young girl with a broken heart
Walking home alone
Teardrops made of Maybelline
On a goodbye note
And looking down at the shadows on the ground
She almost didn't see
A blue-eyed man with a flower in his hand
Walkin right out of her dreams
And she said
We're never gonna know it all
Like houses, we will fall
And break in stormy weather
And be put back together better
We're never gonna know the way
Never know which words to say
And don't you worry it'll be okay
Chorus 2:
Why's it always stormin
Right before the calm
Why are we so lonely
Before it's said and done
Chorus
