Thunder After Lightning

(album: Thunder After Lightning (The Uncut Demos) - 2007)

This is the thunder after lightning
That's the way storms go
I don't feel peaceful after fighting
'Cause the fight revealed my foe
I was not totally right
You weren't totally wrong
And I can only love you if I'm vulnerable

And like most men, I'm an island
I'm an island who wants other islands near
Tell me who I am, 'cause I'm too close to see
Past the imperfections do you see more to me?

Thunder after lightning
That's the way storms go
I don't feel peaceful after fighting
'Cause the fight revealed my foe
You weren't totally right
I was not totally wrong
And I can only love you if I'm vulnerable

If I give in, make it safe for me
To be open to you dangerously real
'Cause this new skin makes the rainfall
A hundred times more painful
A hundred times more beautiful

Thunder after lightning
That's the way storms go
Thunder after lightning
That's the way love goes
