Lightning
I still light your candles
so it'll smell like you're around
and it won't feel so much like you left me
to wander this apartment like a ghost town

I didn't forget the way you felt
but I don't remember it vividly either
and if you would stop passing through my mind
maybe I could think a little clearer

I feel a thunderstorm rumbling through my chest
and those dark clouds pass through my veins too
and if you said you could love me again
I'll come running as fast as lightning until I find you

I hope death doesn't feel this bad
because lately I've been living in hell
and if the bed didn't feel so haunted without you
maybe I could go back to sleeping well

But late at night when your memory keeps me awake
I pull your pillows close to me
and wait a few hours to fall back asleep
in the hopes that I'll see you in my dreams

So if you said you'd have me again
I don't care how hard the rain is pouring down
I'll come running back to you
as quick as lightning strikes the ground

Maybe these storms will soon pass
and in a few years, we'll forget about this time
Just know you can back to me anytime
so we can trade these storms for sunshine
