Lightning Rod Lyrics - Singles - Jenny Owen Youngs

Heart attack 

Junk in the box 

I've been here so long 

I'm starting to rot 

And you're taking my fear 

Selling it in jugs 

Back on the playground, 

My knee socks are bloody 

I need someone to toss the confetti 

At the ticker tape parade 

I'm falling for myself 

Look to the flower 

She used to be pretty 

Don't say a word, 

But she's drying out slowly 

You have the answers 

I have the car keys 

Lightning rod 

Straps on my shoulders 

I'm searching through windows 

For rain & for thunder 

That could bring to merciful 

And this overdrawn way 

Carpet burns 

Up to my elbows 

It's time that you learn 

I guess I should tell you 

That the things you know about me 

Never were true 

Look to the flower 

I used to be pretty 

Don't say a word, 

But I'm drying out quickly 

You have the answers 

I have the car keys
