Close By Lyrics

5 past midnight when you come home

One look and I know that you weren’t alone

Honestly, you swear to me that I must be wrong

‘Cause if I don’t believe you, you say, “May lightning strike you down.”

And, I hear the thunder rollin’

It’s lighting up the sky

I maybe should start running

I don’t wanna be close by

Long I have doubted and long I have cried

I’ve tried to understand and make things right

And I believe I might see the truth yet tonight

‘Cause if I don’t believe you, you say, “May lightning strike you down.”

And, I hear the thunder rollin’

It’s lighting up the sky

I maybe should start running

I don’t wanna be close by

And the wind is getting higher

I feel the chill down to my bones

I don’t wanna stand beside you

It’s not safe to be so close

And, I hear the thunder rollin’

It’s lighting up the sky

I maybe should start running

I don’t wanna be close by

When the thunder’s rollin’

It’s lighting up the sky

I maybe should start running

I don’t wanna be close by

I hear the thunder rolling

It’s lighting up the sky

I maybe should start running

I don’t wanna be close by
