Watching The Lightning - Tim Easton

When all the work is over

And it’s just begun

I probably shouldn’t have told you

That I wasn’t coming back for long

I need you still

Tonight my face could tell the story better

I never meant to leave you

Everybody always knew

That he would die in some fucked up way

And hearing that message now

It makes me want to stay away forever

He knew all pain

And we knew his heart was not in the gutter

He never meant to leave you

Dry your mind’s eye and pick yourself back up

You never really knew where he was coming from

When you’re watching the lightning

I hope you’re not afraid anymore

The sky would only hurt you

If you never left the ground before

I can’t believe you read that letter

I can’t believe you read that letter

I can’t believe you read that letter

Dry your mind’s eye and pick yourself back

You never really knew where I was coming from

When you’re watching the lightning

I hope you’re not afraid anymore

The sky would only hurt you

If you never left the ground before

I never meant to leave you

I never meant to leave you

I never meant to leave you
