On the plane ride home i said why o why
Are we bouncing up and down in the sky
It's a beautiful frightening lightning storm

I held you close with the heart of my gaze
You weren't afraid to my amaze
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm

It was fun ... even though
There was nothing to hold onto
Fun ... even though
There was nothing to hold onto

And when they brought the peanuts around
We said we'll take a drink to wash them down
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm

There's a whole lot baby you can't control
So put your seat back and 'roll mag roll'
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm

It was fun ... even though
There was nothing to hold onto
Fun ... and i know
There was nothing to hold onto

Its been a long and scary year
One thing after another
Something else to fear
Well why should i worry to fly
I'm gonna hand my head down
And cry cry cry
I'm gonna hand my head down
And cry cry cry

Pretty soon those city light below
Showed through and the wind did blow
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm

Da da dum nothing to hold onto
Da da dum there's nothing to hold onto
