Before The Storm

Miley: Woah!!
I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinking back to where we started
and how we lost all that we are
Nick: We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change
And I don't want to lose her
I don't wanna let her go
Both: Standing out in the rain
Need to know if it's over
'cause I will leave you alone
Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that i'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm
Miley: Before the storm
Nick: With every strike of lightning
Miley: Comes a memory that lasts
Both: Not a word is left unspoken,
as the thunder starts to crash
Miley: Maybe I should give up
Miley & Nick: I'm standing out in the rain,
I need to know if its over,
cause I will leave you alone.
Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that i'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm
Miley: Trying to keep the light from going in
Nick & Miley: And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart.
We always say a heart is not whole without the one,
who gets you through the storm.
Standing out in the rain, knowing that it's really over
Please don't leave me alone, flooded with all this pain,
knowing that i'll never hold you, like I did before the storm
Miley: yeah
Nick & Miley: Like a did before the storm
Before The Storm
Taylor Swift's "Before The Storm" stands as a pivotal track from her 2014 era, capturing the tension and anticipation that often precedes a significant emotional or personal shift. Recorded during the height of her transition from country pop to a more polished, synth-driven sound, the song reflects the anxiety and buildup characteristic of her narrative storytelling. As part of her broader discography from that period, the track exemplifies her ability to blend intimate lyricism with expansive production, setting the stage for the anthemic choruses that would define her subsequent work. The recording serves as a testament to her evolution as a songwriter, addressing themes of impending change with a sense of urgency that resonates deeply with listeners navigating their own turbulent times.
