Lightning

[Chorus: Sean Nerney]
She prays far over the big sky
'Cause she needs something to believe in
Scared she'll fade faster than lightning
That casts her horizons in a bright spin
I wait underneath a goodbye
'Cause I feel the end before we begin
There she goes faster than lightning
She says, "Faster than you can catch me"

[Verse 1: Sean Nerney with Gayle Nerva]
She tells stories without grid lines
Of great clouds far over the concrete
The sidewalks and city streets and dark eyes
On the way to the water's edge where we meet
We drink the wine, she just laughs, "Did you
Think this bottle can keep me?
'Cause I'll fade faster than the lightning"
She says, "Faster than you can catch me"

[Bridge: Gayle Nerva]
Faster than you
Faster than you can
Faster
Than you can catch me

[Verse 2: Gayle Nerva & Sean Nerney, both]
She is an instinct
She's without warning
Just a flash in my mind's eye
In either reflection
Of some rainy morning
Lost forever in your sky
Reach out, be constant
When the ground keeps turning
When my head's stormy all the time
In either direction
A step towards nothing
Gone before I can ask why

[Chorus: Gayle Nerva & Sean Nerney]
She prays far over the big sky
'Cause she needs something to believe in
Scared she'll fade faster than lightning
That casts her horizons in a bright spin
I'll wait underneath a goodbye
'Cause I see the end before we begin
There she goes (There she goes)
She says, "Faster than you can catch (You can catch me) me"

(You can catch me, you can catch me, you can catch me...)
