LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

YOU’VE GOT YOUR MIND MADE UP ABOUT ME
BUT I DON’T CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP
HOW’S THE VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS
WHERE YOU MAKE UP WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE

YOU’RE JUST WAITING FOR ME TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE AGAIN x2

IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
IT’S NO ACT AND IT’S HARD TO FOLLOW
IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

YOU CAN’T KNOW ME FROM A FAR
OR FROM SOME GOSSIP IN A BAR
PUT YOUR OWN TONGUE TO THE RAIL
GET YOUR OWN STORIES TO TELL

YOU’RE JUST WAITING FOR ME TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE AGAIN x2

IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

IT’S IN ...
IMAGINATION
DESPERATION
AFTER HOURS
A RUSH OF POWER

WORDS & RHYMES
WHEN YOU CROSS THE LINE
BATHROOM STALL
ALCOHOL

RISKS YOU TAKE
MISTAKES YOU MAKE
THE STEAMY BACKSEAT
YOUR MEMORIES

A FLASH OF SKIN
ADRENALINE
DRUNKEN SHOVE
LUST & LOVE

YOU’RE JUST WAITING FOR ME TO SET MYSELF ON FIRE AGAIN

IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
IT’S NO ACT AND IT’S HARD TO FOLLOW
IT’S LIKE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
