lightning in a bottle

we were something

we were so sure

we had the kinda love

that everyone lives for

it was brilliant

better than it gets

sometimes it was so strong

it would scare us half to death

lightning in a bottle is impossible to find

baby for a moment i was yours and you were mine

but then you opened it

and you were through with it

and let the bottle shatter on the floor

and watched it roll like thunder out the door

i remember the first night we kissed

i thought my heart was finally safe

so i closed my eyes but then. it was over

you were gone

it's like you cut me right in two

and the damage had been done

there's only one over the rainbow

and look how easily you let go

don't you understand

what we held in our hands
