In over my head
And in a sea of black
Tryna pick up the pieces
Feeling lost and all alone
Looking for signs through the window
Just gotta break silence
And dig my way out of this hole
'Cause I could waist all my life waiting for lightning in the dark
Oh I can decide that I can make fire, all I need is a spark
The one’ll restore my life
Trying all these question marks
Oh I can decide that I can make fire
I’m done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found a light inside my heart
Ignite the flame and set it off
No stopping me, I know I’m done
I’m done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found a light inside my heart
I burn the sky, I whip it off
No touching me, I know I’m done waiting for lightning
I’m not lying down, I’m not shutting up
I’m outplacing like a rocket
I never knew I could burn a flame
Through the ice and the cold rain
I won’t be scared about
I’ll just take a match to the distance
'Cause I could waist all my life waiting for lightning in the dark
Oh I can decide that I can make fire, all I need is a spark
The one’ll restore my life
Trying all these question marks
Oh I can decide that I can make fire
I’m done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found a 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 a light inside my heart
I burn the sky, I whip it off
No touching me, I know I’m done waiting for lightning
I was lonely and the last survivor
Lost alone the edge, not anymore
Now I’m alive
Not just surviving
Waiting for the lightning anymore
I’m done waiting for lightning in the dark
I found a 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 a light inside my heart
I burn the sky, I whip it off
No touching me, I know I’m done waiting for lightning
Now I’m alive
Not just surviving
Waiting for the lightning anymore
