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
