lyrics

Do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my lightning rider?
etching highways in the sky

Do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my highway driver?
steering me safely through the night

When she left,
she left all her thoughts behind
she was right,
on the wrong side of her mind
hiding away
in the lost blind spots of time
when we all die, we're all survived

Do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my blindside fighter?
destroying bad guys on the right

Do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my wayward finder?
clearing dead leaves from the pile

Behind the clouds
tryin' to ground myself
but all I ever felt was powerless until you showed

Your energy
took hold of me
'til we were we
now I know you like the back of my hand
like the back of our hands

Do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my
do you wanna be my lightning rider?
