lyrics

Verse 1:

Things ain’t the same no more, I don’t know/
Packed up my shit girl, then I went home/
Don’t mean to be disrespectful, you better find room mates/
Since I moved it’s painful/

And I’m swerving, sippin’ red in this rental/
Slipping into this mind space, a dark place and I’m mental/
Look back on things that we dreamed of/
Came so close to holding, it slipped through my fingers/
Like quicksand, we slowly drown/

Pre-Chorus:

But you should think twice, before I just let it slide/
You know I won’t let it happen/
They say we’re tumbling down, when we ain’t gonna drown/
Its the perfect distraction/

What did they think we came for/
This ain’t no cake walk, well I’m taking action/
Nobodies taking my place, you know I’m saving it now/

Chorus:

With Lightning in a Bottle, Lightning in a Bottle/
Lightning in a Bottle tonight/
She want Lightning in a Bottle, Lightning in a Bottle/
The only way we’re making it right/

We’re making it right girl/

If you could find me now, you would see that I’m waiting/
And I made some changes/
Wish you could trust the night, on this thing that we’re making/
This could be dangerous/

So don’t ever tell me, we never did try/

Don’t ever tell me/

Oh woah, oh woah oh/

Verse 2:

Ain’t been the same now since you gone/
They tell me it’s time to move on/
Well fuck them, ‘cos what good do they know/
We built an empire, and I’m supposed to let go/

Like it’s nothing, like we just went and gave up/
Like they ain’t seen us burning, ain’t nothing here to save us/
I guess that our stomach’s were smaller, than our appetites was/
And you’re my achilles, it kills me to walk off, now/

Pre-Chorus x 1
