lyrics

Take a look around your town, tell me what you see

A change of heart, a change in time, a ghost you never freed

If your waiting all the while, to wonder all the way

At the end of the night when you go to face the day


Sorry for the hope that you lack

But you felt it with a wave to your back

Never found, what you thought you would find

A spark to the dark end of a mind


Or it could have been lightning

Could have been something sweet

Honey letters, I will never read

If it ain’t real until the heart starts fighting

Then it could have been lightning


Take a look and ask me why all we see is blue

Those questions answered mine, I did not have a clue

It’s not how the water falls but how the water felt

To take another hand or play what you were dealt

It’s a gamble, I will guarantee

It’s the way we were born to be

And if I’m laughing well I know how it hurts

What always made it worse


Is it could have been lightning

Could have been something strong

Heavy skies now, a rollin’ in your bones

Don’t’ spend the rest of you’re life deciding

If it could have been lightning


I don’t remember a word she said

From the highway to the river bed

But I’ll be keeping, the gold I found

On the cold night she took me down


Or it could have been lightning

Could have been something sweet

They say forever, is never meant to be

I hunted love and I watched it flying

She hunted love and she felt it dying
