[Verse 1]

Stuck in a crisis

But not the one you played down in the arcade

When you were younger

[Verse 2]

And that's not the wisest thing you thought

Or move you ever made

But now you’re older

[Pre-Chorus]

So do you want to go, son?

I'd like to see you try

We listen to love songs

Only when they're disguised with a veil of anger

[Chorus]

Can’t you see why I am smiling?

I don't know how I survived

The boy who wrestled with lightning

And gave thunder a black eye

[Verse 3]

Stuck in a crisis

But not the one you played on the ferry boat

When you were younger

[Pre-Chorus]

So do you want to go, son?

I'd like to see you try

We listen to love songs

Only when they're disguised with a veil of anger

[Chorus]

Can't you see why I am smiling?

I don't know how I survived

The boy who wrestled with lightning

And gave thunder a black eye

[Bridge]

You've covered your heart

It has no desire

You don't even try anymore

And yet still perspire

Now the credits roll

It’s almost game over

[Chorus]

Can’t you see why I am smiling?

I don't know how I survived

The boy who wrestled with lightning

And gave thunder a black eye
