Lightning Rod

I wanna be your lightning rod
Take your pain and misery away, through these lightning bolts I'll take
Electricity, it owns me
Through my fingers, through my toes

I wanna be at your dead-end drop
Pull you from the car as your tail lights fade away
For a moment we are safe
Then reality, it kills me
I kept us alive today

So say goodnight
Eyes glued open till the daylight comes
A graveyard shift, with all these skeletons
No one is safe, their bones are on display
I got you safe and sound, when I got you safely underground

I wanna be your stunt devil
Take your cuts and scrapes to bear
Till I wear my skin away but I don't care
(I don't care)

So say goodnight
Eyes glued open till the daylight comes
A graveyard shift, with all these skeletons
No one is safe, their bones are on display
I got you safe and sound, when I got you safely underground

Tonight we feel alive
The cold beer keeps us warm inside
We always keep the dead within our hearts
They live in four-chord songs, our memories and sing-alongs
We are far from lonely
We are far from lonely

So say goodnight
Eyes glued open till the daylight comes
A graveyard shift, with all these skeletons
No one is safe, their bones are on display
I got you safe and sound, when I got you safely underground
