Eyes Like Lightning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Smoke and neon, a crowded room Familiar faces through the haze Then eyes like lightning cut the gloom And set my restless heart ablaze He knew my brother, knew my name From years before, but not the same [Chorus] Love like ours don't need permission We were written in the stars We defied what they predicted Dancing proud with all our scars In a world that wasn't ready We stood tall and held on steady [Verse 2] Vince, you walked across that floor Like you already knew my soul You calmed the storm I couldn't ignore And made this broken spirit whole You taught me how to breathe again To see the world through a softer lens [Chorus] Love like ours don't need permission We were written in the stars We defied what they predicted Dancing proud with all our scars In a world that wasn't ready We stood tall and held on steady [Bridge] They can whisper, they can wonder But our roots grow deep as thunder Every odd we overcame Just made stronger this beautiful flame [Verse 3] You make me better day by day You quiet the noise inside my mind Vince, you showed me there's a way To leave the fear and doubt behind A new beginning, hand in hand A love not everyone will understand [Chorus] Love like ours don't need permission We were written in the stars We defied what they predicted Dancing proud with all our scars In a world that wasn't ready We stood tall and held on steady [Outro] So here's to us, Vince, you and me Exactly where we're meant to be
