Great Big Storm
Nate Ruess
Because we're
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
I've been lost
In this maze
Losing love
Losing friends
Losing faith
In chemicals
Afraid one day you'll find me
Asleep above the stars
I watch my mother cry
Father time
Is catching up
I keep the phone
By my side
Afraid she'll wake me up to catch the next flight
In time to say goodbye
But sometimes I fall asleep at night
To the TV light
And it sings
Oh ooo whoa oh
One day the sun will break into
The room
Because we're holding our own
In a great big storm
And though we're cutting it close
We won't let go
Oh no I can't believe
Everything falling down around me
But now we're holding our own
And we won't let go
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
Broken hearts
Broken homes
And broken bones
Secret love
Let me go
You know I gotta
Find my own way
Though mistakes that I can't change
Because there's beauty in every sin
Every single black eye
Has some blue like the moon
Just before the sun shines
No I don't believe
In all the things that they preach
But sometimes I fall asleep at night
And I just know you're smiling
At me
Oh ooo whoa oh
One day I'm gonna make this up
To you
Because we're holding our own
In a great big storm
And though we're cutting it close
We won't let go
Oh no I can't believe
Everything falling down around me
But now we're holding our own
And we won't let go
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
Holding our own
In a great big storm
It's a great big storm
And we're holdng our own
I can't stand myself
And all the curse words
That fall from my mouth
I can't stand myself
Or my legs
As they run from the ones here to help
But I just woke up with
You next to me
Some new air to breathe
And a belief that it's all gonna be alright
I can't stand myself
But it's high time that we gave it a try
And I think I'm gonna finally give myself a new try
Because I'm holding my own
In this great big storm
And though I'm cutting it close
Oh we won't let go
Oh no I can't believe
Everything falling down around me
But now we're holding our own
And we won't let go
No we won't let go
No we won't let go
Oh no
