I used to be the lucky one
My only task's to bask in the sun
And my golden years came so suddenly
Now i just try to pretend it doesn't torture me
Losing all i ever wanted
Learning what i really need
I made lightning in a bottle
But i forgot the recipe
If you had seen my golden hair
Falling down around my shoulders
Beg you to done for me whatever i ask of you
Now when you look at me i feel you seeing through
I want to talk, come back to me
And why didn't i grab a hold and see
Oh, the days i spent, lying in the sun
Praying for some way to make a little fun
Losing all i ever wanted
Learning what i really need
I made lightning in a bottle
But i forgot the recipe
My golden years came so suddenly
Now i just try to pretend it doesn't torture me
Losing all i ever wanted
Learning what i really need
I made lightning in a bottle
But i forgot the recipe
Oh, i made lightning in the bottle
But i forgot the recipe
