Storm
Lifehouse (acoustic) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I'd see you
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Because I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything would be all right
If I could see you
This darkness would turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be all right
I know everything is all right
Everything's all right
Yeah
Everything's all right

My Dad passed away 6 years ago. As I made the 25-30 minute drive to my parents home most days, this song was almost always on. It brought me peace, comfort.

Who cares if it's for christians or lovers... we all go through the same pain and hardships as human beings. What makes this song amazing is not only the lyrics and his wonderful voice, but also the passion with which he expresses himself. I send a loving thought to all my fellow human beings that are suffering immensely this moment. May you find peace and lots of love.

This song makes me think of my boyfriend and my perspective on life. My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year but we've known each other through both of our lowest points in life. He's made me realize that through the bad, comes the good. You can't have a rainbow without a little rain. And when I see those deep sea green eyes, I remember that's life is hard but you should never give up. Somebody out there loves you. So never give up on life. <3

Without that one person, it doesn't matter how many people you have around you. The pain of that loneliness is just so deep.
