Lyrics
Lightning: Thunder
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.
There’s a highway
There’s a straight line
I could go forever
Just break for new life
Yeah it’s overcast
It’s midnight
And this feels like a dividing line
Is that lightning or is it thunder?
Or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
Cause if it’s lightning: I gotta wonder
If I should lie in shelter or go out anyway
There’s a freeway
There’s a bus fare
I could go forever
Straight outta here
But maybe it’s long past
Long drives
Maybe it’s long past: choosing sides
Is this lightning or is it thunder?
Or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
Cause if it’s lightning: I gotta wonder
If I should lie in shelter or go out anyway
Is it over? Cause I’ll walk away
But if it’s not over: give me a sign to say
Cause I got a feeling I could stand here forever and lose you anyway
Is that lightning or is it thunder?
Or just a likening to the sound of the rain?
Cause if it’s lightning: I gotta wonder
If I should lie in shelter or go out anyway
