[Verse 1]
I remember days I was younger
Growing up with the thunder
Living inside me
I ran fast like a river
Fell hard like timber
Hoping that I would see everything

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I can be the one to hold on
I just need to know for how long

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
I've been waiting for lightning to strike

[Verse 2]
And I want to know where to go to find
The place where the eyes and the mind meet
Ooh
Where the charge in the sky
Meets ground of mine
A flash of your light is all I need
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah I can be the one to hold on
I just need to know for how long
[Chorus]
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
I've been waiting for lightning to strike

[Bridge]
In the storm my arms are stretched
I'm standing here, please don't forget
(I'm waiting for lightning)
My heart's a key tied to a string
Up on a kite, what will it bring?
(I'm waiting for lightning)
To strike

[Chorus]
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
I've been waiting for lightning to strike

[Outro]
(In the storm my arms are stretched)
(I'm standing here, please don't forget)
I've been waiting for lightning to strike
(My heart's a key tied to a string)
(Up on a kite, what will it bring?)
I've been waiting for lightning
I'm waiting for lightning
I'm waiting for lightning to strike
