Stuck in place and complaining, tonight
On a broken radio
Thought we reached the mountain top
But now we just feel so low
The sky is breaking open, keep hoping
In the distance, you see a glow
Lightning light our break
‘Til the black sky, turns back to indigo
We can make it if you don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
Don’t quit on me
We can make it, baby
Please, don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
Don’t quit on me
I’ll never quit on you
We were born in paradise
Beneath the poison sky
Under a bad sign
A micro-age of Gemini
And we are still unlearning
Towns are burning in the middle of the day of triumph
Know that we’ve been beaten down and broken
But now we could touch the fire
We can make it if you don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
Don’t quit on me
We can make it baby
Please, don’t quit on me
I won’t quit on you
Don’t quit on me
I’ll never quit on you
It’s not up to you
So you wait, so you rule ([?])
You don’t have to choose
So you win, so you lose ([?])
One, two, three, four
I heard the thunder on the blue sky
Perfect day, I wonder why
Am I the only one?
I hear the thunder and I see them going up
Jesus Christ was an only son
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings you here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings you here
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightbulb to fill the light in
I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer
Then I find, I got the question wrong
I was trying to run away
Run it first so we could see
And put a feeling in a song
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings you here
A day, a week, a month, a year
A day, a week, a month, a year
Every second brings you here
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light to feel the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the lightning
Waiting on the light to feel the lightning
