lyrics

I stood and watched the clouds roll in
The air was charged with expectation
Lightning flickered in the distance
In its strobe I caught your grin

I smiled at you, you smiled at me
Ions jumped from cloud to cloud
Thunder was the beat we danced to
You took me by storm, a fool could see

You took me by storm
You know you took me by storm
A torrent so sweeping
I couldn't escape
You took me by storm
I let you take me by storm
The power flowed through us,
The give and the take

Through summer's heat we whirled together,
A cyclone changing everything,
Wrapped in each other like rain and wind,
We learned to be each other's weather.

But winter came, rain turned to sleet,
Stinging my cheeks, making me hide
Like layers of wool, I tried on lies
In your blizzard heart I feared I'd freeze.

You took me by storm
You know you took me by storm
A torrent so sweeping
I couldn't escape.
You took me by storm
I let you take me by storm
But the power was all yours
Your love was a fake.

Now, for a moment, we dance in spring rain
Your hand in mine; bare feet, wet grass,
And flowers blooming all about.
No storm can quench our glowing flame.

Oh, how I'd like to try again,
But I know this calm won't last
This respite makes me want to stay,
But for my heart, I have to go

Eye of the storm,
It's just the eye of the storm.
A calm before violence,
My chance to escape.
Eye of the storm,
I'm in the eye of the storm
Surrounded by chaos
That I watched you make

'Cause you took me by storm
You know you took me by storm
A torrent so sweeping
I couldn't escape
You took me by storm
I let you take me by storm
But I'm reclaiming my power
And I'm making my break.
