Lyrics
Living In Lightning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd rather walk alone
Than stand in a row
I'd line up everything I own
Decide what should stay and what should go
This life was mine to choose
Yearning to wander through and through
At times I've been battered and bruised
But I'm still breathing in my youth
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better
At being who you wanted me to be?
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity
You wear these brooding ghosts
Tighter and tighter round your throat
They're weighing you down like a stone
They might never let you go
Can't you see I'm sorry that I wasn't better
At being who you wanted me to be?
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity
I've been living in lightning for what seems like eternity
