Thunder After Lightning - Downhere

This is the thunder after lightning

That’s the way storms go

I don’t feel peaceful after fighting

'Cause the fight revealed my foe

I was not totally right

You weren’t totally wrong

And I can only love you if I’m vulnerable

And like most men, I’m an island

I’m an island who wants other islands near

Tell me who I am, 'cause I’m too close to see

Past the imperfections — do you see more to me?

Thunder after lightning

That’s the way storms go

I don’t feel peaceful after fighting

'Cause the fight revealed my foe

You weren’t totally right

I was not totally wrong

And I can only love you if I’m vulnerable

If I give in, make it safe for me

To be open to you — dangerously real

'Cause this new skin makes the rainfall

A hundred times more painful

A hundred times more beautiful

Thunder after lightning

That’s the way storms go

Thunder after lightning

That’s the way love goes
