Contextual Analysis of "lightning" in Lyrics

and i'm so far gone from anything i knew

once in my life like lightning

girl you got that spark

lightning

who coulda known

burning me up

who coulda known

burning me up

i said

i said

i said

i said

start

but you keep hanging 'round

start

do you still like me?

But I couldn't make it in time

Struck by lightning twice

and i can't fight it

lightning strikes

ooh

ooh

if you want me to see

better write it in lightning

each night i say a prayer for you

out of the darkness the winner will survive

celebrate

raise your glasses high

start

your kiss has struck me down

in this avenue tonight

zip gun johnny's finger is itchin'

but you make sure that they play this at my wake

we ain't afraid of thunder

the feeling of our last dance with the music slowly fading

don't strike twice

start

you walk by and

and i don't

whenever i touch you i need thunder and lightning
