Lightning

You're in control
Pressing "pause" on my heartbeat
Someone stole all the air
So I can't speak now
I know the chase is on
I feel as though
My time has come
How many times do I fly
Through your headspace
Now we're speeding away
From a safe place
Yeah your skin
Your touch, your kiss
The rush, too much
And here it comes
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
We touch the light
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it is a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
Just you and me and the
Coats in the back room
Learning things the don't
Teach in the classroom
Now, your here
I feel the fear
But everything
Is oh so clear
I've been addicted to you
Since the first hit
Out of control like a surge of electric
Yeah, your skin
Your touch, your kiss
The rush, too much
And here it comes
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
We touch the light
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Your skin, your touch
Your kiss, too much
Your skin, your touch
Your kiss, the rush
Your skin, your touch
Your kiss, too much
The rush, the rush
The rush, the rush
When your lips touch mine
It's the kiss of life
I know
I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might as well be playing
With lightning
We touch the light
Like it's our first time
Oh oh
I know it's a little bit frightening
We might as wel be playing
With lightning now
Oh oh
Oh oh
