She stands in the waiting
She looks down to speak
Your eyes speak invitation
To follow with the beat

She said
Oh no I'll never be the same
Struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same

I've come to know the color
Of indecisiveness
Tell me what I'm feeling
In seven words or less

She said
Oh no I'll never be the same
Struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same

The way looks awful lonely
So long or maybe less
The time has passed so slowly
There's pressure on my chest

Your eyes speak invitation
To follow with the beat
So tell me what I'm feeling
In seven words so speak
Oh no I'll never be the same
You struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same

Oh no I'll never be the same
Struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same

(Come on baby come on along
The road's not that long
Gretchen, Gretchen, Gretchen
I wanna go)
