lightning

Hit me like a back hand to the face

I know this won't end good for me

I heard that it all eventually fades

But what if I don't wanna leave?

I come up with questions just to buy a couple minutes

It's expensive tryna keep your attention

You catch on, but you don't show it

And your head on my shoulder tells me what you always fail to mention

Not the same

But it feels close enough

Quickly as it comes it slips away

But I still wanna touch

Hit me like a back hand to the face

I know this won't end good for me

I heard that it all eventually fades

But what if I don't wanna leave?

I don't think you see when you look my way

Don't think you ever will

And I'm playing in the storm, not much of a role model

Tryna catch lightning in a bottle

You drive away

I'm just LA

Some place you love

Until you hate

Go to feel alive

And make your mistakes

Two drifters, trying to outrun themselves

You take the light right from me

But I don't even stop myself

Hit me like a back hand to the face

I know this won't end good for me

I heard that it all eventually fades

But what if I don't wanna leave?

At best it ends up all being okay

At worst it makes me funnier

I should save some for a rainy day

But I guess I just never learn

I don't think you see when you look my way

Don't think you ever will

And I'm playing in the storm, not much of a role model

Tryna catch lightning in a bottle
