Drinking Lightning Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the valley, where my heart sinks
There'll be no strings, I'm worth nothing
When the sad wind from the night's end
Help me pretend that I'm your sin
In the dark space, the touch of your soft face
In front of our fireplace, would you believe me?
If the phone rings, tell him nothing
Well maybe one thing, that hell is coming

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause he wasted your time
In a year you'll be mine

[Chorus]
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well) without me

[Verse 2]
When I feel love from your answer
I'll take a gander, appreciate your candor
If the glove fits, above the toolbox
You'll hear a pin drop, it's the sound of my thoughts
Now the paint cries, down our cheek it dries
Ooh, the pink sky and backlit white lies
When my eyes sting, when my heart sinks
There will be no strings, we're drinkin' lightning

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause he wasted your time
In a year you'll be mine

[Chorus]
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well) without me

[Bridge]
We're drinking your lightning
We're drinking your lightning
We're drinking your lightning
We're drinking your lightning
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well) without me
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well)
No, you don't (don't) fare (fare) well (well) without me

[Outro]
Aaron! What's up man, it's Ryan
Uhh…how are you, I hope you're good
Uhh…I just wanted to give you a heads-up
It's my birthday this weekend, uhh…
Saturday night I'm gonna have people meet up at a bar
It's (beep) called (beep) around nine o'clock
I know it's far for you
And I fully understand if you can't make it
But I just wanted to throw the information out there
Um...but either way give me a call back, I hope all's good
I'll talk to you later

About

The widely-exploring RUN comes to an end with only a synthesizer and vocals, as well as a phone recording, for this depressing and enlightening but true flick of “Drinking Lightning,” the fourteenth track and fantasist closer to the record.

It is possible by “drinking lightning” Aaron is referring to white lightning, another way of saying moonshine, very strong alcohol. Aaron swears that in his spare time he will be searching, and “drinking lightning”, or getting rid of sorrows through alcohol, in his non-stop thrill of the chase of his life.
