Lyrics

Just When I Thought

[Verse 1]

We're trading silence

Do you believe in faith or science?

I don't mind the sirens

'Cause at least it brings me guidance

[Pre-Chorus]

I still believe in us

I still wanna call it love

But I guess this is what we've become

And you won't put down your smoking gun

[Chorus]

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Kingdoms of the heavens falling

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Thunder and the rain is pouring

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Kingdoms of the heavens falling

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Thunder and the rain is pouring

[Verse 2]

Don't tell me where we're goin', ooh

Doing ninety in the moment

And I'm holdin' my condolence

Till we're swallowed in the ocean

[Pre-Chorus]

I still believe in us

I still wanna call it love

But I guess this is what we've become

And you won't put down your smoking gun

[Chorus]

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Kingdoms of the heavens falling

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Thunder and the rain is pouring

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Kingdoms of the heavens falling

Just when I thought you were ready for me

Thunder and the rain is pouring

[Refrain]

Just when I thought you were ready (Ready)

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready for me, for me

Well, well, well

Ready for, for me, for me, ayy

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready

Just when I thought you were ready for me, for me

Ready for me, for me

Oh, ready for, for me, for me

Ready for, for me, for me
