I used to be | |
The lucky one. | |
My only task, | |
To bask in sun. | |
My golden years | |
Came so suddenly. | |
Now I just try to pretend | |
It doesn’t torture me. | |
Loosin' all I ever wanted. | |
Learnin’ what I really need, | |
I made lightning in a bottle, | |
But I forgot the recipe. | |
If you had seen | |
My golden hair | |
Fallin' down around | |
My shoulders, bare, | |
You'd have done for me | |
What ever I asked you to. | |
Now when you look at me | |
I feel you seein' through. | |
Why won't the time | |
Come back to me? | |
And why didn’t I | |
Grab ahold and seize | |
All the days I spent | |
Lyin` there, in the sun, | |
Prayin` for some way | |
To make a little fun? | |
My golden years | |
Came so suddenly. | |
Now I just try to pretend | |
It doesn't torture me. | |
Loosin' all I ever wanted. | |
Oh, learnin’ what I really need, | |
I made lightning in a bottle, | |
But I forgot the recipe. | |
Oh, I made lightning in a bottle, | |
But I.... forgot the recipe. |
