Electricity

Come back to me, electricity
I'm no machine
But something's missing in me

Birds don't need it, electricity
I'm not a bird, but I'm free-falling
Maybe something's underneath me
Bigger than the air that we breathe

Plants don't need it, electricity
I'm not a tree or is this low-down feeling
Tying something underneath me
Holding all my living steady?

Only in my weakness
I want some light

The Earth don't need it, electricity
I'm not an Earth, but I feel something stirring
Bigger than the ground beneath me
Stronger than the military

The stars don't need it, electricity
I'm not a star, but I feel something in me
Brighter than the lights we leave on
Better than the television

Only in my weakness
I want some light

Stay far from me, electricity
I'm no machine, and now that I forgot you
I hear better, I see brighter
I feel deeper, I want darker

Only in my weakness
I want you back

I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
But you're always leaving

I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
I need a light to believe in
