[Verse 1]
She spent the nineties living through a TV
Sitting cross-legged two feet from the screen
She moves like she's in a dream
Her boyfriend's eyes are 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

[Chorus 1]
And don't ask questions you don't wanna know
About the the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

[Verse 2]
Did you think you were gonna get married?
Makе a baby, fall asleep and get buried
My mind's like a moviе 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

[Chorus 2]
She'll tell you to stay but she wants you to go
It's the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 3]
She'll tell you to stay but she wants you to go
Don't ask questions you don't wanna know
About the the lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah

[Outro]
Lightning bolt
It's a lonely life
You've got me, you've got me
Lonely life of a lightning bolt, yeah
