Lightning in a Jar - Molly Tuttle

Like thunder in summer

Without warning, you were there

I recall your electric eyes, windswept eyes

You were lightning in a jar

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

Like lightning in a jar

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

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

Like lightning in a jar

You were lightning in a jar
