Thunder and Lightning

from When I Should Be Sleeping EP by Colby Miller

lyrics

I can feel the downpour in the bottoms of my shoes
The rain is coming down, getting wet is all we got to lose
I can walk you home now, or you can sit under my porch
We'll never have to talk about what all of this is for
I can call your parents on my telephone
I'll have to speak loudly so they don't know we're alone
We can stay indoors, take the keys away
I can be alone tonight but it'd be better if you stay
I can't take you home tonight
-
I had that rainy day feeling that just makes you want to sink
All my friends are getting better while my heads still in the sink
You'll just hold my hand now and we'll sit next to the fire
I don't know if it's real but you don't seem like a liar
I can call your parents on my telephone
I'll have to speak loudly so they don't know we're alone
We can stay indoors, take the keys away
I can be alone tonight but it'd be better if you stay
I can't take you home tonight
Don't go swimming in the rain
There's thunder and lightning outside today
Don't go home alone today
There's thunder and lightning where you stay
-
I may be sick but I don't drink like your dad
I'm not going to hit you just because I'm sad
Nothing here's familiar, it's all just in your head
Don't go walking back now just because of what he said
I'll hang around so you won't have to be alone
I won't let any lightning bruise a single bone
And if I see him making noise I will not tell
We'll wait 'till no ones looking and we'll send him back to hell
And I won't leave you alone today
And I can't take you home today
And I can't take you home today
