Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Daylight turns to moonlight and I'm at my best
Praisin' the way it all works and gazing upon the rest, yeah
The cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
Oh, the cool before the warm, the calm after the storm
[Verse 2]
I wish to stay forever, letting this be my mood
Oh, but I'm caught up in a whirlwind
And my ever changing moods, yeah
[Verse 3]
Bitter turns to sugar, some call a passive tune
But the day things turn sweet for me won't be too soon
Oh, the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
Oh, the hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
I wish we'd move together
It's time that passes soon
Oh, but we're caught up in the wilderness
And an ever changing mood, yeah
[Verse 4]
Let me tell ya now
Ha, ha, yeah
[Verse 5]
Teardrops turn into children who've never had the time
To commit the sins that they fall through
Another's evil mind
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
The love after the hate, the love we leave too late
[Verse 6]
I wish we'd wake up one day
Everyone feel moved
Oh, but we're caught up in the dailies
And an ever changing mood, yeah
[Verse 7]
Evil turns to statues and masses form a line
But I know which way I'd run to if the choice was mine
Past is our knowledge, present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
I wish we'd come to our senses
And see there is no truth, oh, and
Those who promote the confusion for this ever changing mood, yeah
[Verse 8]
Let me tell ya now
Hey, ha, ha, ha
Hey
[Verse 9]
Said the calm before the warm, calm after the storm
Hush before the silence, the winds after the blast
Love after the hate, love we leave too late
I said the love after the hate, love we leave too late
Calm before the warm, calm after the storm
I said the hush before the silence, winds after the blast
The love after the hate, love we leave too late
I said the love after the hate, love we leave too late, yeah
[Verse 10]
It's up to us to say
This isn't goin' away
