Lightning - I Hate This Place

She prays far over the big sky

'Cause she needs something to believe in

Scared she’ll fade faster than lightning

That casts her horizons in a bright spin

I wait underneath a goodbye

'Cause I feel the end before we begin

There she goes faster than lightning

She says «Faster than you can catch me»

She tells stories without grid lines

Of gray clouds far over the concrete

The sidewalks and city streets and dark eyes

On the way to the water’s edge where we meet

We drink the wine, she just laughs at you

«Think this bottle can keep me?

'Cause I’ll fade faster than the lightning»

She says «Faster than you can catch me»

Faster than you

Faster than you can

Faster

Than you can catch me

She is a

She’s without warning

Just a flash in my mind’s eye

And neither reflection

Of the morning

Lost forever in your sky

And the constant

When the world keeps turning

When my head’s stormy all the time

In either direction

A step towards nothing

Gone before I can ask why

She prays far over the big sky

'Cause she needs something to believe in

Scared she’ll fade faster than lightning

That casts her horizons in a bright spin

I’ll wait underneath a goodbye

'Cause I see the end before we begin

There she goes (There she goes)

She says «Faster than you can catch me»

(You can catch me, you can catch me, you can catch me…)
