When Lightning Strikes

When Lightning Strikes (Verse 1 — tight groove, controlled swagger) You move like static in the bloodstream, Silver flicker in my chest. Say my name like it’s a trigger, Pull it back and let it press. You don’t touch — you conduct me, Every nerve a live design. I’m a city in a blackout Till you run across my lines. (Pre-Chorus — rising tension) You say, “Baby, we’re just chemistry.” I say, “Chemistry lies.” It only takes a spark to turn A want into a need overnight. (Chorus — massive, melodic, hooky) When lightning strikes, it strikes twice— Once for the rush, once for the price. Hits like heaven, leaves like a vice, I tell myself I’ll be fine. No rehab for paradise, No antidote for this high— We don’t fall in love slow, We overload When lightning strikes. (Post-Chorus — chantable) Strike — feel it in my veins. Strike — dancing in the rain. Strike — I swear I’m in control… But I let it take my pulse. (Verse 2 — darker undertone) You glow like neon on wet pavement, Red reflection in my eyes. Call it fate, but it’s a pattern, Call it love, but it’s supply. Every goodbye tastes temporary, Like you’ll circle back at night. I say I can quit whenever— You just smile like that’s a lie. (Pre-Chorus — tighter, heavier) You say, “Baby, don’t romanticize.” I say, “That’s what I do.” You’re just voltage in a velvet dress And I’m a wire pulled loose. (Chorus — bigger, layered harmonies) When lightning strikes, it strikes twice— Once in the dark, once in my spine. Burns so good I call it divine, Knowing it’s not. No warning label on desire, No shelter from the sky— We don’t fall in love slow, We overdose When lightning strikes. (Bridge — half-time, intimate confession) There’s a second before impact Where the world goes white— Where the crash feels holy And the damage feels right. I don’t chase you for the future, I chase you for the spark— For the glow that fills the silence When I’m alone in the dark. (Breakdown — minimal, whispered) I’m not addicted. I just like the light. I can stop anytime… Just not tonight. (Final Chorus — explosive, highest energy) When lightning strikes, it strikes twice— Once for the thrill, once for the bruise. I play with fire like I’ve got nothing Left to lose. No coming down without a fight, No clean hands in this sky— We don’t fall in love slow, We overload— We come alive When lightning strikes. (Outro — fading, haunting) Strike once for the rush. Strike twice for the ache. Some of us don’t want the calm— We just want the shake. When lightning strikes! When lightning… Strikes! When lightning… Strikes!
