Lightning

Lightning

In a tree

No one can see me

Never strikes twice in the same night

Nothing

Nothing gets to me

But you can still hit the celly

Baby let me know when the time’s right

I jump overboard

Off the diving board

Swimming in the pool with the lights out

You try to get me out the house

Let me know when you’re ready

Gotta tell me when is it right now

I used to stay inside

Drugs to blot out the light

I felt so cast aside

Why can’t I get it right?

It all felt like way too much

I was in and out of touch

Can I bring myself to face

Everyone I used to know?

But you know I’ve been thinking a lot

Remembering all the things I forgot (hey hey)

And I’m ready to leave that all behind

Skyscraping in the basement

You keep me touched down on the ground

Pillow talking naked on the pavement

There’s no sense if we don’t make it

So honey don’t stop coming around

I’ll listen for the sound

Your footsteps on the ground

Walking up to my front door

To tell it like it is

If I trip during the race

Splash some water on my face

We can find a different pace

And still cross the finish line

But you know I’ve been thinking a lot

Remembering all the things I forgot (hey hey)

And I’m ready to leave that all behind
