Lightning Twice

You're drifting farther, farther out of touch
I'm getting pulled away before my time
I was not the one who made the choice to let you walk away
But you said you had to leave this all behind

But I'm not so sure I want you to go
Before you push me out onto that limb
Yes I know that lightning has appeared once in this very place
But the chances of it striking twice are slim

You'll be gone for years
Chasing fireflies
That is what you get for trying
Trying to capture lightning twice

You pull me through these stories you create
And I'm waiting for the big charade to stop
And hoping that you soon will realize this is a big mistake
And graciously decide to drop me off

You'll be gone for years
If you don't roll the dice
That is what you get for trying
Trying to capture lightning twice

Trying to capture lightning twice

Yeah

You'll be gone for years
Chasing fireflies
That is what you get for trying
Trying to capture lightning twice

You'll be gone for years and years and years
If you don't roll the dice
That is what you get for trying
Trying to capture lightning twice

You'll try
You'll try
Try to capture lightning twice
