The Calm

What makes two people fall in love

Then act as tho they don't?

What makes one take a leap of faith

To make sure that they won't

Ever speak unkindly words

Through countenance of scorn

[Chorus]

How long?

How long?

Do they want the calm to be after the storm?

What makes us break each other's heart

And act as tho we're friends?

A game that ends with us apart

That neither one can win

Whatever happened in the past

Should leave the veil untorn

[Chorus]

How long?

How long?

How long do they want the calm to be after the storm?

Hold me, kiss me

Ravage me on moonlit floors

Don't scold me. Just miss me

If I am what you love and live for

What makes to people fall in love

Then start another war?

When do we say we've had enough

And give up keeping score?

Nothing left to heal the burns

It's time we all forgive

Expecting nothing in return

Live and let live

[Chorus]

How long?

How long?

How long do they want the calm to be after the storm?

This is what its like after the storm
