[Verse 1] My whole life's been in the dark
I’ve never seen a single spark
I'm screaming and shouting for just a touch
Maybe I'm asking for too much

[Chorus] Oh, ’cause I'm the sound of lightning
Always late to catch your light
Oh, and baby girl it's frightening
'cause all that I want is to see you shine

[Verse 2] And so in the darkness I feel at home
I was never supposed to watch you glow
And even if I never see your light
I'll always shout into the night

[Chorus] Oh, 'cause I'm the sound of lightning
Always late to catch your light
Oh, and baby girl it's frightening
’cause all that I want is to see you shine
