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 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
