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

Loosin' all I ever wanted

Oh learnin what I really need

I made lightning in a bottle

But I forgot the recipe

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
