[Verse 1: Sara Kays]
It's storming out, maybe you should come inside
And tell me why you don't wanna be alive
If you don't respond, I'll put my shoes on
And lay down on the pavement next to you
If we get struck, at least we'll make the news
The news

[Chorus: Sara Kays]
What a way to go out
Something this town will forever talk about
The two kids who were laying down
And struck by lightning in front of your house

[Verse 2: Cavetown]
In the mud, sinking down
Thinking of everything I've to think about
You shut me up, look at the clouds
As lightning struck

[Chorus: Sara Kays & Cavetown, Cavetown]
What a way to go out
Something this town will forever talk about (Lightning struck)
The two kids who were laying down
And struck by lightning in front of your house (Lightning struck)
The kids out on the playground
Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about (Lightning struck)
The two kids who were laying down
And struck by lightning in front of your house?"
[Bridge: Sara Kays & Cavetown, Sara Kays, Cavetown]
Hmm, maybe on a sunny day
You might have some things to say (I might have some things to say)
But if you don't, that's okay

[Chorus: Sara Kays & Cavetown, Cavetown]
What a way to go out
Something this town will forever talk about
The two kids who were laying down
And struck by lightning in front of your house (Lightning struck)
The kids out on the playground
Years from now will say, "Did you ever hear about (Lightning struck)
"The two kids who were laying down
And struck by lightning in front of your house?"

[Outro: Sara Kays, Cavetown]
As lightning struck
And struck by lightning in front of your house
