  • I've been working
    Working overtime
    To find who I want to be

    You got something
    Can't put my finger on it
    That makes my mind feel free

    I never thought I'd make it through the summertime
    I've never seen so much rain
    There you are and the storm is rolling away

    I'm not gonna run, gonna look away, gonna let it out
    What's done is done, there's a better day coming around
    It's taking some time to believe that there's something left of me
    Maybe you could help me I was thinking you could stay awhile.

    There's a rumble deep in my heart
    And it feels like a hurricane
    You're standing there with your yellow sundress on
    Taking the clouds away

    What a feeling buried inside me
    Been such a long long time
    Now I know I couldn't turn back if I tried

    I'm not gonna run, gonna look away, gonna let it out
    What's done is done, there's a better day coming around
    It's taking some time to believe that there's something left of me
    Maybe you could help me I was thinking you would stay awhile.

    It's been years now, we're still together
    Since that day you stayed awhile
    And it's amazing, you still amaze me.
    That day has changed my life

    We're not gonna run, gonna look away, gonna let it out
    What's done is done, those better days keep coming around
    It's taken some time to believe, but you knew what was best for me
    Baby how you helped me, I'm so glad that you stayed awhile.
    Baby how you helped me, I'm so glad that you stayed awhile. Writer/s: HEATHER MITCHELL, RYAN NEWELL
