LIGHTNING

With her hand around the bottle with the lightning in tow

She tried her best to carry it far as she could go

She's done with her home, with her friends, with her own

Identity, she's making it up along the way

The boys are fallin hard you know they wish she could stay

She's gone, in a beat

All she loves, all she leaves

But if she finds that her stubbornness

Can't outweigh all the loneliness

I'll be here when she falls back to earth

And I'll be kind, I'll be everything

You can't find in the streets at least I can try

I'll be here if you are

If you find life ain't as easy as you

Thought it, I'll be here in the city where

The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes

But if you find everything you wanted I'll be

By your side the minute that you want it

If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind

With her hand around the bottle sinking further than low

She buries every feeling far down as they can go

She's gone far from home, far from friends, on her own

And the memory of everything that brought her to now

Keeps her going for the moment, but the thought comes around

It's gone, in a beat

Every chance, every dream

But if she finds that her stubbornness

Can't outweigh all the loneliness

I'll be here when she falls back to earth

And I'll be kind, I'll be everything

You can't find in the streets at least I can try

I'll be here if you are

If you find that life ain't as easy as you

Thought it, I'll be here in the city where

The lights don't shine as bright and you can close your eyes

But if you find everything you wanted I'll be

By your side the minute that you want it

If the time ain't right, know that you're on my mind
