Lyrics

In over my head, in a sea of black
Tryna pick up the pieces
Feeling lost and all alone
Looking for signs through the window
Just gotta break the silence
And dig my way outta this hole
'Cause I could waste all my life
Waiting for lightning in the dark
Or I can decide that I can make fire
All I need is a spark
Don't wanna waste all my life
Drowning in all these question marks
Or I can decide that I can make fire
I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
Ignite the flame, and set it off
No stopping me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
I'll burn the sky, I'll rip it up
No touching me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning
I'm not laying down, I'm not shutting up, no
I'm out blazing like a rocket
I never knew I could burn a flame
Through the ice and the cold rain (cold rain)
I won't be scared about it
I'll just take a match to the tear stains
'Cause I can waste all my life
Waiting for lightning in the dark
Or I can decide that I can make fire
All I need is a spark
Don't wanna waste all my life
Drowning in all these question marks
Or I can decide that I can make fire
I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
Ignite the flame, and set it off
No stopping me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
I'll burn the sky, I'll rip it up
No touching me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning (waiting for lightning)
(Waiting for lightning, waiting for lightning, waiting for lightning)
I was lonely as the last survivor
Lost along the edge, not anymore
Now I'm alive, not just surviving
Or waiting for the lightning anymore
I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
Ignite the flame and set it off
No stopping me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found the light inside my heart
I'll burn the sky, I'll rip it up
No touching me
I know I'm done waiting for lightning (waiting for lightning)
(Waiting for lightning, waiting for lightning)
Now I'm alive, not just surviving
Waiting for the lightning anymore
