Like Lightning

Looking for a girl I used to know
She used to walk these city streets
Going anywhere the wind would blow
She used to look a bit like me
Someday I'm gonna find her again
And I'm gonna tell her the truth
Shake her by the shoulders
Make her see nobody's fireproof
Just live and learn
You will get burned
But you'll get your turn
If you keep fighting
All my life is lighting up in front of me
All this time I thought that I was running to the sun
Seems that I'm the only one too blind to see
The fire inside me, like lightning
Trying to get out all my light
Looking for a sign along the way
Dying to finally get back home
And I'm forever trying to keep the faith
Praying but it's a lonely road
Hope is a lesson I've learned
Hope is the best way to burn
And I'll get my turn
If I keep fighting
All my life is lighting up in front of me
All this time I thought that I was running to the sun
Seems that I'm the only one too blind to see
The fire inside me, like lightning
Trying to get out all my light
All my light
I'm gonna find that girl somehow
I'm gonna finally ignite
What would the future me say
I wanna know, am I gonna turn out all right?
All my life is lighting up in front of me
All this time I thought that I was running to the sun
Seems that I'm the only one too blind to see
The fire inside me, like lightning
Like lightning
Like lightning
Seems that I'm the only one too blind to see
The fire inside me, like lightning
Trying to get out
All my light
