If Before I Wake

Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
I was suddenly wide awake
Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
I was on my own, on my own
I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
Brick and mortar might not survive
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
Or am I all alone? No
I'm just a narcissist
Too blessed to be depressed, thank Jesus
God, I'm bending over, love me
I'll let you take my sins out on me
I'll be your ever after honey
Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
I was suddenly wide awake
Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
I was on my own, on my own
I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
Brick and mortar might not survive
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
Or am I all alone? No
I'm just a narcissist
I'm just a narcissist
