Watching The Lightning by Tim Easton Lyrics

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
