Lightning Riders Lyrics

[Intro]
(O-o-o-oh)
(O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh

[Verse 1]
You and me and everybody under the sun
We're lightnin' riders, we're lightnin' riders, we won
You and me and all the maniacs and outlaws
We're lightnin' riders, we're lightnin' riders, we won (Two, three, four)

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up—

[Chorus]
And now I glow in the dark
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh
And now I glow in the dark
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh
[Verse 2]
You and me and all your inspiration I love
We're lightnin' riders, we're lightnin' riders, we won
You and me and all the 99ers and outlaws
We're lightnin' riders, we're lightnin' riders, we won

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me
I'm just born to blow up—

[Chorus]
And now I glow in the dark
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-oh (O-o-o-oh)
O-o-o-o-o-oh
And now I glow in the dark
(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh) I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me

(O-o-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh) Yeah, I'm just born to blow up these bridges behind me

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm drowning in this atmosphere
Swimmin' in circles for a couple years
Maybe I'm drowning in this atmosphere
Swimmin' in circles for a couple years

Genius Answer

You know when you’re in a dark room, when the lights first turn off, it’s scary. You’re going around like, “I can’t see shit, this is crazy,” and then all of a sudden your eyes adjust and you can see in the dark. That’s the metaphor I’m going for here. – Aaron Bruno
