Lightning

If there's lightning where you are
I hope it strikes you
If there is fire I hope it lights you up
and when you've finally had enough
I hope there's no water to cool you off

If there's lightning where you are
I hope it strikes you
and if you have a dog I hope it bites you
I hope the wound is raw and deep
and leaves a scar you'll always keep

If there's a heart inside your chest
I hope you find the girl who's best for you
I hope she wont give the love you've always wanted
and when you close your eyes at night
I hope she leaves you haunted

Next time you are at the beach
I hope those waves carry you far enough away
so that when you scream and shout
there's no one there, you're too far out
And when you finally wash up on the shore
I hope your body's aching
and you're tired and you're sore

I hope you know what it's like to hurt
I need you to know just how to hurt



You know I'd never really wish these things upon you
I just want you to understand what you've put me through
And if there is lightning outside
I'll step out in it another time
I'll feel this pain so you wont ever have to
And if that lightning strikes me dead
I'd regret the thing I never said enough
that I love you 'till my time on Earth is up
Yes, I love you 'till my time on Earth is up



Boy, if there is lightning where you are
promise me that you will stay indoors
Boy, I know you love a good storm
but promise me that you will stay indoors
Promise me that you will stay indoors
