Lyrics:
We were all lost and lonely kids on fire
Trying to find our way in this beat up, old man’s town
Flyin’ high walking out starry eyed on a wire
And searching for a sound

A hundred miles south of neon lit New York City
We came alive, dressed up pretty and grew up fast
Took all the strength and power and will within me
To make something ever last

While everybody was tryin’ to find bigger apple to bite
Or chasing down the white hot, bright spot light
I was standing in the shadows far away from the stage
Wonderin’ if I’d laugh about it all some day

But it can break my heart
Steal my dreams, when I fall apart
I zip up my jeans and put my sneakers on
Until the break of dawn
I let the light in
I’ll catch the lightnin’

I’d crack the sky open wide to find the right words
There were days I had way too much to say
I drank myself blind, some nights. My head still hurts
Even love got in the way

But, I built up the courage to bare my soul
Wrapped it in a little Philly rock n roll
I was a solo survivor on the Broad Street line
The tour bus driver, getting high all the time

But it can break my heart
Steal my dreams, when I fall apart
I zip up my jeans and put my sneakers on
Until the break of dawn
I let the light in
I’ll catch the lightnin’
I’ll catch the lightnin’

Those days so long ago were mostly magic
But it’s a game so few can ever win
To rise above the white noise and the static
And feel safe in your own skin

But I got everybody to clap their hands
Back in ’87 at a high school dance
Got ‘em movin’ and shakin’ and singing along
Yellin’ and screamin’ out “one more song!”

Oh it breaks my heart
Steals my dreams, when I fall apart
I roll up my sleeves and put my speakers on
Until the break of dawn
I gotta let the light in
If I wanna catch lightnin’
Just let the light in
You’ll catch the lightnin’
