I was wishing my whole life For a lightning wife She had rain drop wings Her fingers felt like velvet green branches I was human she was god But I was dressed up in lightning clothes So she couldn't see that I was beneath her And she said she'd stay for a while So she took me to the sky She never noticed that I had no wings I felt her skin against mine And the stars melted into dandelion wine
And her eyes are like sunflowers and thunderclouds And her tongue is like raspberries in June And I keep thinking that if I could only keep her distracted She won't notice I'm not worthy of a lightning girl And I remember the Christmas's without her I was alone and drunk and staring at the tree And she was whispering through the cracks in the window But I couldn't hear her 'cause I didn't love me
