[Verse 1] Your hand on my sleeve Like a spark in rain You don't say much Still you rearrange The room gets thin When you look my way My chest goes warm I don't look away [Pre-Chorus] And I know I know what it means When the dark starts crackling Under my skin [Chorus] Quiet lightning I can feel the light inside Quiet lightning It keeps me open wide Quiet lightning You pull the storm apart (Quiet lightning) And wake my heart [Verse 2] I kept my secrets In a paper box You came by slow And you picked the lock Now every fear Falls soft and small Like old dust dropping From the wall [Pre-Chorus] And I know I know what you do One soft touch And I come into view [Chorus] Quiet lightning I can feel the light inside Quiet lightning It keeps me open wide Quiet lightning You pull the storm apart (Quiet lightning) And wake my heart [Bridge] If I go numb You find the seam If I go cold You bring back heat No grand parade No burning sky Just your calm hand And my whole life [Final Chorus] Quiet lightning I can feel the light inside Quiet lightning It keeps me open wide Quiet lightning You pull the storm apart (Quiet lightning) And wake my heart
