She spent the '90s living through a TV
Sitting cross-legged, two feet from the screen
She moves like she's in a dream
Her boyfriend's eyes, a neon green
She hit the century looking for some fun
Like she's staring back into the barrel of a gun
One blink, she's already gone
Don't you fuck around and fall in love
And don't ask question you don't wanna know
About the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
Did you think you were gonna get married?
Make a baby, fall asleep and get buried
My mind's like a movie scene
Now your Americana is losing steam
You see pictures she's in Barcelona
Staring through a camera like she's never known ya
See the wind blowing through her hair
The sky's weighing down on you, he don't care
She'll tell you to stay, but she wants you to go
It's the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
Oh, there's nothing left to say
The lady always gets her way
She's not yours to take
Oh, there's nothing left to do
Maybe she'll remember you
She's not yours to take
She'll tell you to stay, but she wants you to go
Don't ask question you don't wanna know
About the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
It started bad boy
It's a lonely life
You've got me, you've got me
Lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
