flashes of lightning

about

The older I get, the more it all seems like a collection of strobe-lit moments. Do you know what I mean?

There is no video for this (yet), but imagine it in an empty coffeehouse or club, which is brightly lit (and maybe packed with people) every time I say "lightning."

lyrics

flashes of lightning
in the sky of your eyes
bringing me back to
my first surprise
holding you close, then
letting you go
flashes of lightning
are all that I know

i want you to know me
i want to know you
but these flashes of lightning
make that seem hard to do
each one’s almost over
before it begins
but it's in that 'almost'
that we get to kiss

i want to see you
i want you to see me
but these flashes of lightning
don’t leave much time to see
each one’s almost over
before it can start
but it's in that 'almost'
that you touched my heart

am I your father
am I your son
am I your lover
for now, or for one
going the distance
when the distance is near
for now is for ever
for you I am here
