  • There's a storm on the streets, but you still don't run
    Watching and waiting for the rain to come
    And these words wouldn't keep you dry
    Or wipe tears from an open sky,
    But I know, but I know, but I know I'm right

    I won't let you drown, when the water's pulling you in
    I'll keep fighting, I'll keep fighting
    The rain's going to follow you wherever you go
    The clouds go black and the thunder rolls
    And I see lightning
    I see lightning

    When the World surrounds you, I'll make it go away
    Paint the sky with silver lining
    I will try to save you, cover up the grey
    With silver lining

    Now there's no way back from the things you've done
    I know it's too late to stop the setting sun
    You see the shadows in the distant light,
    And it's never gonna be alright
    And you know, and you know, and you know I'm right

    And I won't get left behind, when the walls come tumbling in
    I'll keep climbing, I'll keep climbing
    The rain's going to follow you wherever you go
    The clouds go black and the thunder rolls
    And I see lightning
    I see lightning

    When the World surrounds you, I'll make it go away
    Paint the sky with silver lining
    I will try to save you, cover up the grey
    With silver lining

    When the World surrounds you, I'll make it go away
    Paint the sky with silver lining
    I will try to save you, cover up the grey
    With silver lining

    (Silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver)
    Paint the sky, paint the sky
    (Silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver, silver) Writer/s: ADAM ANDERSON, DAVID SNEDDON, JAMES BAUER-MEIN, THEO HUTCHCRAFT
