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
