lyrics

Lightning love affair
We walk into the storm
By the haunted houses
We used to run past them
Now I look in the window
And I feel your breath beside me
Loosening my grip
I watch you fall away completely

And I was seven steps behind you
Trying to catch up
If I reach out and try to touch you
Would that be enough?

Reckless runaway
I dreamed that I was drowning
You stood on the shore
Didn't notice my arms flailing
When I went underwater
Saw a face I don't remember
She told me you don't love me
Just want to love somebody

And I was seven steps behind you
Begging for your love
If I reach out and try to hold you
Will it keep me up?

You said you were afraid of fire
Said you'd rather drown
And I follow you agreeing with
The things you talk about
And all the running in the world
Doesn't change the fact that
I'm always seven steps behind
Oh, I'm always holding on so tight

Lightning love affair
It's six in the morning
We walk into the storm
Just to watch it pouring
By the haunted houses
I stop by the window
And you just keep on walking
Do you notice that I'm always

Seven steps behind you, honey
No matter what I do
And I loved you first, I love you last
So I stay catching up to you
