Butch Walker - The Next Storm - Demo Version lyrics

[Verse 1] We had a difficult winter We had a rough few months When the storms came in off the coast It felt like they broke everything on us at once And it's easy enough to talk about Blitz spirit When you're not holding the roof up and knee deep in it And the papers and albums got soaked by the rain And I wondered if they'd ever get dry again [Chorus] But I don't want to spend the whole of my life indoors Laying low, just waiting on the next storm I don't want to spend the whole of my life inside I want to step out, and see the sunshine [Verse 2] We lost faith in the omens We lost faith in our gods We just ended up clutching at empty rituals Like gamblers clutching long odds And I don't care what the weather man is saying Because the last time that I saw him, he was on his knees and he was praying And the preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same And they wondered if they'd ever get dry again [Chorus] But I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors Laying low, just waiting on the next storm I don't want spend the whole of my life inside I want to step out, and see the sunshine [Bridge] So open the shutters, raise up the mast Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has pa**ed Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has pa**ed Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has pa**ed [Outro] I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors I don't want spend the whole of my life indoors I don't want spend the whole of my life inside I want to step out, and feel the sunshine
