Lightning strikes
From the heights and finds
The tallest spires
Points and clicks and acquires

You are high
Fists fall clenched in climb
Attracting fire
Down your spine, electrified
But after all, burnt and tired

'Cause we live in darker times
Open my eyes so I can see brighter, oh
You are a beam of light
Maybe that's why your battery runs dry

I hear you cry
From the other side
Of a broadband line
That cuts out and in, two seconds behind
You go quiet and say goodnight
You go quiet and say goodnight

'Cause we live in darker times
Open my eyes so I can see brighter
And you are a beam of light
Maybe that's why your battery runs dry
Meet me outside in five
I will be waiting out by the street signs
And you are a beam of light
Maybe that's why your battery runs dry
We live in darker times
Open my eyes so I can see brighter
And you are a beam of light
Maybe that's why your battery runs dry
Meet me outside in five
I will be waiting out by the street signs
And you are a beam of light
Maybe that's why your battery runs dry
