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
