Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Map lines on the dash
Coffee in a paper cup
North wind chewing at the glass
Radio mostly static
Turning up
Dark wall on the water
Where the shoreline disappears
Those shelf clouds marching east
Like a slow parade of fears
[Chorus]
We’re chasing lightning over Michigan
Every strike a Polaroid in my head
From the pier to the county line
Sky ripping open in violet threads
We’re chasing lightning
Calling it love
Rolling south
Just to see her roar
If there’s a border at the bottom of the state
We’ll park right there and beg for more (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Gravel spitting from the tires
Barn roofs shrinking in the rearview
Windmills turning like they’re tired
Of every storm that we drive through
Yellow fields go silver
When the first flash hits the ground
We kill the lights
Count the seconds
Feel the thunder shake the seats
Shake the sound
[Chorus]
We’re chasing lightning over Michigan
Every strike a Polaroid in my mind
From the lake roads to the orchard signs
That wall of rain drawing a crooked line
We’re chasing lightning
Calling it faith
Rolling south
Where the highways bend
If there’s a border at the bottom of the state
We’ll meet the storm like an old friend (hey!)
[Bridge]
Do you ever think she knows our names
The way she folds the sky in half like paper
Shelf clouds stacking like a staircase
And we just climb
And climb
And chase her
Southbound
Hearts loud
Mile markers blur and fade
If this is wrong
Let it be
The wildest choice we ever made
[Chorus]
We’re chasing lightning over Michigan
Every flash a photograph in your eyes
From the west
That living freight train
Rolling in to rewrite the sky
We’re chasing lightning
Calling it home
Driving south to the last green sign
If there’s a border at the bottom of the state
We’ll wait for Mother Nature on the line (oh-oh)
We’ll wait for Mother Nature on the line

Indie pop song about storm chasing in Michigan, capturing the lightning across the skies, the massive shelf clouds rolling in from the west, driving south to the border to witness Mother Nature
