On the plane ride home i said why o why<br />
Are we bouncing up and down in the sky<br />
It's a beautiful frightening lightning storm<br />
<br />
I held you close with the heart of my gaze<br />
You weren't afraid to my amaze<br />
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm<br />
<br />
It was fun ... even though<br />
There was nothing to hold onto<br />
Fun ... even though<br />
There was nothing to hold onto<br />
<br />
And when they brought the peanuts around<br />
We said we'll take a drink to wash them down<br />
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm<br />
<br />
There's a whole lot baby you can't control<br />
So put your seat back and 'roll mag roll'<br />
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm<br />
<br />
It was fun ... even though<br />
There was nothing to hold onto<br />
Fun ... and i know<br />
There was nothing to hold onto<br />
<br />
Its been a long and scary year<br />
One thing after another<br />
Something else to fear<br />
Well why should i worry to fly<br />
I'm gonna hand my head down<br />
And cry cry cry<br />
I'm gonna hand my head down<br />
And cry cry cry<br />
<br />
Pretty soon those city light below<br />
Showed through and the wind did blow<br />
In the beautiful frightening lightning storm<br />
<br />
Da da dum       nothing to hold onto<br />
Da da dum       there's nothing to hold onto
