Lightning
Cannons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You call my name
From a million miles away
I run to you like lightning from the rain

You lose it all
Will you guide me like the stars
You lead the way
And I'll follow the beat of your heart

'Cause you are the only thing I've ever gotten right
Nothing comes close, you're the only one I'm letting inside
'Cause you are the only thing I've ever gotten right
Nothing comes close, you're the only one I need in this life

And all I know
Heaven, it's in your eyes
It feels like home
Somewhere I'm not alone

I'd be lying, if I said I didn't need you now
Because I do
I do, I do, I do

'Cause you are the only thing I've ever gotten right
Nothing comes close, you're the only one I'm letting inside
'Cause you are the only thing I've ever gotten right
Nothing comes close, you're the only one I need in this life





Nothing comes close
You're the only one I need in this life

I heard this and immediately sent this to a dear friend of mine. His bride died on 2/19 — their wedding song was “backwards”
Love you guys and the new album! You’re beautifully put together in so many ways. Much love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
