Like thunder in summer Without warning, you were there I recall your electric eyes, windswept hair You were lightning in a jar I'm sorry I tried to hold you I was stricken by your charm Should've known that you were wild Before I trapped you in my arms Like lightning in a jar I still beg the skies To bring you back my way I've even started praying For lightning to hit twice Now I've lost every trace of you So, I'm picking up the pieces And the fragments of my heart It wasn't strong enough to hold you You shattered it all apart Like lightning in a jar You were lightning in a jar
