lyrics

I remember the talk the waste
Just barely surviving
But hanging on your every word
I remember the cold embrace
And rolling punches
Anything to feel it all
We were never good with good enough
We were never sunsets all in love
We were never bright like daylight shining

We were like lightning
Like a fire in the sky then
We’d burn up the ground
When we touched down
We could only survive in storm clouds
Like lightning

I remember the sleight of hand
Tempers surrounded
Every time I’d agonize
We were never right with right or wrong
We were never searching all along
We were never finding silver linings

We were like lightning
Like a fire in the sky then
We’d burn up the ground
When we touched down
We were like lightning
Yeah like lightning
No coming down since we burned out
We could only survive in storm clouds
Like lightning
Like lightning

We were never good with good enough
We were never sunsets all in love
We were like lightning

Like a fire in the sky then
We were like lightning
We’d burn up the ground
When we touched down
We were like lightning
Yeah like lightning
No coming down since we burned out
We could only survive in storm clouds
Like lightning
We were like lightning
We were like lightning
We were like lightning
