Lightning Lyrics by Semisonic

You’re Not Alone - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
I was down in the dark
With my friends on the sidelines
Watchin' you radiate
I could hardly believe
When you came down to find me
That's when everything changed

[PreChorus]
But those moments don't last
The brightest come and go in a flash

[Chorus]
Am I askin' for too much
For lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time?
Am I pushin' my good luck
To wish that you'd call me
Call me a second time?

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
You've got glitter and grace
Everything that I don't have
I wish I was like you
Even when you're away
There's no one else on my radar
You're all I want to do

[PreChorus]
It was magical then
So why can't we have magic again?
Uh

[Chorus]
Am I askin' for too much
For lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time?
Am I pushin' my good luck
To wish that you'd call me
Call me a second time?

[Instrumental break]
(Strike me a second time)
(Call me a second time)

[Chorus]
Am I askin' for too much
For lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time?
Am I pushin' my good luck
To wish that you'd call me
Call me a second time?

[Outro]
Lightning to strike me
Strike me a second time
