Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's about that time when I gotta throw lightning
I coulda been something without you now
It's about that time when I gotta do something
Gotta be like lightning
Be somebody new now
[Verse 2]
Like lightning
[Verse 3]
I know my way back
I've seen that sky collapse
I've heard that thunder clap
I've seen that lightning crack
I know my way home
I'll mend those broken bones
I've seen that lightning crack
[Verse 4]
Don't just think about yourself
(Get some help) Go get some help
(Coming for you) They're coming for you
Don't just think about yourself
(Need to get help) You should get some help
(Coming for you) They're coming for you
[Verse 5]
It's about that time when I gotta throw lightning
I could've been something without you now
It's about that time when I gotta do something
Gotta be like lightning
Be somebody new now
[Verse 6]
Lightning
[Verse 7]
Under a setting sun
I will not be undone
My day has just begun
Come here, break me off some
[Verse 8]
Under a setting sun
I will not be undone
Our day has just begun
Oh
[Verse 9]
Don't just think about yourself
(Get some help) Get some help
(Coming for you) They're coming for you
Don't just think about yourself
(Need to get help) Just get some help
(Coming for you) They're coming for you
Out of the blue
[Verse 10]
You should think about yourself
You should get some help
They're coming for you
(Be somebody new) Be somebody new
[Verse 11]
You should think about yourself
You should get some help
Be somebody new
[Verse 12]
It's about that time when I gotta throw lightning
I could've been something without you now
It's about that time when I gotta do something
Gotta be like lightning
Be somebody new now
[Verse 13]
Like lightning
Like lightning
