lyrics

"In the Lightning it is Written"

This day started just like all of the ones we’ve had
The skies poured as we were lying like lions in the cover of your bed
But I know you’re leaving, I can taste it on your tongue
All this electricity has finally proved way, way too much. Too much. Too much. Too much.

Though I know as our bodies grow the way all these slippery things go
Tongues twist and toes grip as we finally die and ask how it all comes to this
So tell me what will the skies do, because right now it all seems so stuck?
Different languages? Parlez vous what the fuck?
What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?

Now as we walk through the abandoned park by your parent’s house
The thunder and our silence both finally prove way, way, way too loud
Because I know it’s over, I heard it on your tongue
And in the lightning it is written all we will become
So, I’m screaming up at those red and blue, blue, blue skies,
Trying to find some way to make it last, our elusive time. It’s our time. It’s our time.

It’s our time.
