Bottle Up Lightning Lyrics

Lady Antebellum

Look me up when you're back in town
You know the number, I'll be around
Doing what I do
Been livin' my life as a simple man
And bein' alright with where I am
But when it comes to you
When it comes to you

[Chorus]
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
Spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never lookin' back, just keep on drivin'
But holdin' you is just like tryin'
To bottle up lightnin'

There's one little voice on the selfish side
That's dyin' to tell you "don't say goodbye"
But I can't make you stay
You might stay a day or a couple weeks
But sooner or later you find your wings
And you just fly away
And you hear me say:

I wish I would've taken a few more chances
Spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never lookin' back, just keep on drivin'
But holdin' you is just like tryin'
To bottle up lightnin'

I wish I would've taken a few more chances
Spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never lookin' back, just keep on drivin'
But holdin' you is just like tryin'
To bottle up lightnin'
To bottle up lightnin'
