I heard you whispering secrets
Through the window in my room
I didn't think you'd act that way
I guess I spoke too soon
Now I'm the soft breath on your lips
The ink that stains your fingertips
All the signs of happiness
Are gone, that's why we ended it
Chorus:
Lightning baby, won't you rescue me?
Sound of thunder tells me that you're near
The wind will shake the cold and barren trees
And wipe away my deep and endless fear
The winter never suited you
But still you'd come around
We'd wrap ourselves in blankets
It didn't keep you in my town
When you left, to no avail
The empty rooms did truly wail
Darkness laid its weary head
Upon your vacant place in bed
Chorus:
Lightning baby, won't you rescue me?
Sound of thunder tells me that you're near
The wind will shake the cold and barren trees
And wipe away my deep and endless fear
