Heat Lightning

here in the attic, where the floorboards creak
there’s too much static, i can’t hear you whisper-speak

i try to stay clean, but get covered in dust
everything between us, any moment, could completely combust

there’s another bolt of heat lightning
when things get hot, they start igniting
is it worth the fighting?
is it worth the pain?
gotta try to cool down without summer rain

picking through the boxes, now a childhood gone
tug-of-war with memories makes it hard to keep moving on

i feel the friction between me and you
the storm in the distance, any moment, is about to blow through

there’s another bolt of heat lightning
when things get hot, they start igniting
is it worth the fighting?
is it worth the pain?
gotta try to cool down in the summer…

every time, i think things are gonna change,
but every time, it’s more of the same
we’ve been going at it for way too long
that we can’t even act our age
every time, i think things are gonna change,
but we just end up calling names
(we) can’t seem to let go of yesterday

we should have never come back, should have never come back

there’s another bolt of heat lightning
when things get hot, they start igniting
is it worth the fighting?
is it worth the pain?
gotta try to cool down in the summer…
try to cool down without summer (rain)
