The Lightning I, II

Lyrics

THE LIGHTNING I [Verse 1] Fourth place anthem playing tonight, on a broken radio I thought we reached the mountaintop, but now, we just feel so low The sky is breaking open, we keep hoping, in the distance we'll see a glow Lightning, light our way 'til the black sky turns back to indigo [Chorus] We can make it if you don't quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me We can make it, baby Please don't quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me I never quit on you [Verse 2] We were born in paradise, beneath a poisoned sky Under a bad sign, the micro-age of Gemini And we are still unlearning, tires are burning in the middle of Rodeo Drive You know that we've been beat down and broken, but now we can testify [Chorus] We can make it if you don't quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me We can make it, baby Please don't quit on me I won't quit on you Don't quit on me I'll never quit on you [Outro: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] It's not up to you Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes) You don't get to choose Some you win, some you lose (When the lightning comes) One, two, three, four THE LIGHTNING II [Verse 1: Win Butler] I heard the thunder on the blue sky perfect day I wonder why, am I the only one? I heard the thunder and I feel I'm going under Jesus Christ was an only son [Pre-Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here [Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring? [Verse 2: Win Butler] I heard the thunder and I thought it was the answer But I find I got the question wrong I was trying to run away, but a voice told me to stay And put the feeling in a song [Pre-Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here A day, a week, a month, a year A day, a week, a month, a year Every second brings me here [Chorus: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring? Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the lightning Waiting on the light What will the light bring?
