Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Than stand in a row
I'd line up everything I own
Decide what should stay and should go

Yearning to wander through and through

For what seems like eternity

You wear these brooding ghosts
Tighter and tighter round your throat
They're weighing you down like a stone
They might never let you go

Can't you see I'm sorry that I
Wasn't better at being
Who you wanted me to be
I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity

I've been living in lightning
For what seems like eternity
