We can stay here all night,
And watch shooting stars fly by.
Picture the perfect world
One without the baggage
Of last century’s damage,
Without the fear of dying young.
And as quick as we return to Earth
It seems we disappear,
Doesn’t it seem frightening?
We’re teenaged lightning.
In a flash of coloured smoke we’re here
Embracing the thunder,
Of a world gone under
We're teen, we're teen, we're teenaged lightning.
We're teen, we're teenaged lightning.
We're teen, we're teenages lightning.
So you bring yourself close to me.
Whisper in my ear and set me free.
It doesn’t feel right to be alone
When I'm not with you I feel I've left home.
Thank the stars we’re alive,
Walk with me, we'll watch the others
Pass by, drive by, walk by.
And as quick as we return to Earth
It seems we disappear,
Doesn’t it seem frightening?
We’re teenaged lightning.
In a flash of coloured smoke we’re here,
Embracing the thunder
Of a world gone under.
We're teen, we're teen, we're teenaged lightning,
We're teen, we're teenaged lightning,
We're teen, we're teenaged lightning.
