[Verse 1]
Like thunder in summer
Without warning, you were there
I recall your electric eyes, windswept eyes
[Refrain]
You were lightning in a jar
[Verse 2]
I'm sorry I tried to hold you
I was stricken by your jaw
Should've known that you were wild
Before I trapped you in my arms
[Refrain]
Like lightning in a jar
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Refrain]
Like lightning in a jar
You were lightning in a jar
