[Verse 1]
Heat lightning running outside the window

So I give it up to you, I hope that's okay
There's nothing I can do, not much I can change

And there's nothing I can do, not much I can change
Can I give it up to you? Would that be okay?
There's nothing I can do, not much I can change
I give it up to you, I surrender
There's nothing I can do, not much I can change
I give it up to you, I surrender
