Lightning Over Cotton Candy

[Verse 1] Plastic cups in a puddle Ticket stubs stuck to my shoe Ferris wheel frozen mid-circle And I’m stuck up here with you Distant scream from the drop ride Smell of sugar in the rain Your hair stuck to your lipstick You laugh and curse my name [Chorus] Thunderstorm at a carnival Everything’s bright and breaking Lightning over cotton candy All this color All this shaking If the sky comes down I’m staying Stranded in this tilted world Thunderstorm at a carnival And I’m still holding your hand [Verse 2] Neon paint on your jacket Running ink on my wristband Speaker crackle “take shelter” But we just don’t understand You trace hearts on the fogged glass Of a prize stand Shuttered tight Say “We’ll remember this disaster” Like it’s the best night of our lives [Chorus] Thunderstorm at a carnival Everything’s bright and breaking Lightning over cotton candy All this color All this shaking If the sky comes down I’m staying Stranded in this tilted world Thunderstorm at a carnival And I’m still holding your hand [Bridge] Rain in my eyes Or is it you? (hey) Rubber ducks float by my shoes Sirens Sirens Distant hum But I just hear your breath Counting down from one [Chorus] Thunderstorm at a carnival Everything’s bright and breaking Lightning over cotton candy All this color All this shaking If the sky comes down I’m staying Stranded in this tilted world Thunderstorm at a carnival And I’m still holding your hand
