I need a parachute to keep me floating This time I'm running into you And it won't be easy 'Cause I know how you'll be Try to keep on breathing And I'll breathe you in Once again I will not remind myself about all of this But still, I know That you were the lightning striking me I was the thunder echoing On the front yard in the spring Didn't want to miss a thing I was the mess you didn't Need I'll lean on the window where we watched the night fall That true sky reminding me of you And it won't be easy 'Cause I know how I'll be When the lungs are breathing The same oxygen Once again I will attempt Not to remind myself of everything You were the lightning striking me I was the thunder echoing On the front yard in the spring Didn't want to miss a thing You were the late nights raining down And I was the storm that's leaving town I left a trail of gasoline And the flame helped you say I was the mess you didn't Need to think about at night while you're awake On the cloud above your head that brings the rain And I'm sure you're the reason that I stick around I didn't know back then, but I'm telling you now That you were lightning striking me I was the thunder echoing On the front yard in the spring Didn't want to miss a thing You were the late nights raining down And I was the storm that's leaving town I left a trail of gasoline And the flame helped you say I was the mess you didn't Need The mess you didn't need
