Lightning - Lyrics Critique

by Gabriel

One of my first ones. Hope you like it. :)

Lightning:

2AM and it rains outside,
The room is cold and dark,
Darker than the moonlight tonight.

And I glance at the TV,
It's some old guy, he cracks bad jokes,
I turn away and look at what I wrote:

Come back today,
Call me your friend,
Look me in the eyes,
And say you'll never leave again.

Lost and alone,
This darkness is frightening,
When the only light I get,
Is a distant flash of lightning.

I crumple up the page,
And my glass is filled,
It's been a long day,
Of working through this empty field.

And I tap my feet,
To that old familiar sound,
It's silence, It's haunting me,
It follows me around.

And the clock,
It just hit 3AM.
I concentrate on nothing,
I look down and write again:

Come back today,
Call me your best friend,
Remember when we used to laugh,
And say your time would never end.

But lost and alone,
This darkness is frightening,
When the only light I get,
Is a distant flash of lightning.

It's just another for the blaze,
And now I'm flying...higher than the highways.

I stare into the distance,
And wonder if I'm trying,
The humming of the engine fades,
And nearby I see lightning.

And it's the faces,
Of all those people,
That I almost wish I'd never met,
Almost wish I'd never been with.

And i see our times,
I see life is so much more,
And now these tears aren't falling,
As far as they did before.

This room it's not so dark,
When I can hear this sound,
I write away and listen,
To the lightning all around.

Come back today,
Call me your friend,
I'll look you in the eyes,
and swear i'll never leave again.

Come back today,
Call me more than a friend,
We'll laugh all through the night,
And wish this never ends.

We're not alone,
And the dark isn't so frightening,
Cause the only light I need,
Is the distant flash of lightning.
