whether you like a storm breaking

or whether you don't

there's still one thing

you have to say to me

maybe you won't



but every time it feels like lightning

it's not easy to pretend

and i don't want to lay it all on a line

if you can't believe me

and i don't want to say i love you all the time

if you don't need me



whether i'm like a storm breaking

or whether i'm not

it seems i'm in this tree

nearly all my life

but you see maybe i'm not



but every time it feels like lightning

it's not easy to pretend

and all this fire in the air

isn't mine not mine completely

but i let it light me every day of my life

so i can be me



time in itself means nothing to me

time is on the wall

there's nothing you can do

to stop the dance in you

sometimes it's run walk crawl



and every time it feels like lightning

it's not easy to pretend

and i don't want to lay it all on a line

if you can't believe me

and i don't want to say i love you all the time

if you don't need me
