Lightning In A Bottle

Same clothes and same bed

Four walls, one head

Am I too far gone or just too scared?

Scared of failin'

Hidin' away in a basement

No backbone, got no peace

With all those vultures flyin' in the street

Yeah, I made mistakes, I used to bleed

So I'm scared of failin'

Failin'

Hidin' away in a basement

Basement

But when I get like this I think of my mother's eyes

And how she'd tell me, "It'll all work out alright

But you won't catch lightning in a bottle, lightning in a bottle, if you don't go outside and feel the rain

Feel the rain"

So I'll try to soak it in

And if it hurts at least I'll be livin'

Let the world see where I've been

And if I end up failin'

She'll be my safe haven

'Cause when I get like this, I think of my mother's eyes

And how she'd tell me, "It'll all work out alright

But you won't catch lightning in a bottle, lightning in a bottle, if you don't go outside and feel the rain

Feel the rain"
