Lyrics
I thought I'd buried all the fire
Locked away behind these walls of stone
But here you stand like wild desire
Making me remember I'm not alone
The shadows whisper what we used to be
Before the storm tore us apart
Now every breath feels like destiny
Racing through my raging heart
I can feel it building like a hurricane
All the passion, all the pain
When lightning strikes twice in the same place
I'm burning alive, can't escape this embrace
Every kiss ignites what time couldn't kill
When lightning strikes twice, I'm under your spell
Thunder and rain, washing over my soul
When lightning strikes twice, I lose all control
You move like music through my memory
Every step a symphony of sin
I swore I'd never let you near me
But here I am, letting you back in
The years between us melt like morning frost
In the heat of your return
Everything I thought that I had lost
Sets my very soul to burn
I can feel it building like a hurricane
All the ecstasy, all the pain
When lightning strikes twice in the same place
I'm burning alive, can't escape this embrace
Every kiss ignites what time couldn't kill
When lightning strikes twice, I'm under your spell
Thunder and rain, washing over my soul
When lightning strikes twice, I lose all control
They say it never happens
But here we are again
Defying all the odds that kept us apart
The universe conspires
To fan these burning fires
That never really died within my heart
When lightning strikes twice in the same place
I'm burning alive, can't escape this embrace
Every kiss ignites what time couldn't kill
When lightning strikes twice, I'm under your spell
Thunder and rain, washing over my soul
When lightning strikes twice, I lose all control
(When lightning strikes twice...)
(I lose all control...)
