Lightning Bolt
from #LOVE by Kavalier Calm
about
lyrics
I struck like a lightning bolt, a one in a million,
and you won’t get another shot at love like mine again.
You were blind to what I served on a silver platter.
And now I don’t care if you find happily ever after.
You let your good fortune slip away,
and I can see the regret on your face.
The over-under on love is a small .5.
You scored once, but you won’t score twice.
The odds were long that you’d ever find one like me;
it don’t matter that your sorry—Lady Luck don’t pity.
CHORUS
The love in fairy tales may not be real,
but I offered something damn close in my deal.
You walked past the crown of roses I laid at your feet,
and now you want to reclaim my throne’s seat.
CHORUS
and you won’t get another shot at love like mine again.
You were blind to what I served on a silver platter.
And now I don’t care if you find happily ever after.
You let your good fortune slip away,
and I can see the regret on your face.
The over-under on love is a small .5.
You scored once, but you won’t score twice.
The odds were long that you’d ever find one like me;
it don’t matter that your sorry—Lady Luck don’t pity.
CHORUS
The love in fairy tales may not be real,
but I offered something damn close in my deal.
You walked past the crown of roses I laid at your feet,
and now you want to reclaim my throne’s seat.
