99% Chance of Lightning
He'll beat you with secrets
He'll be drunk off lies
You'd be a fool to fall into his trap
I know I cannot control you
Your life is yours to live
Experiment with your set of boys in
The lab that is high school
But what kind of sister am I
To let you play with
Such unstable elements
Out you walk into a raining world
With an umbrella in your hand
Whose purpose is to keep your pretty face dry
But along comes a storm
And your precious umbrella goes shut
You knew there was a storm tonight
Yet you're out here anyway
Risking getting shocked in this downpour
I thought you knew better, but
I don't even know who you are anymore
Gray skies, thunder rumbles
Lightning strikes, and there lies a girl
So young, too naive
No officer, that's not my sister
