about

Ever survived something that almost took you out? Ever have it happen a second time? Feels like "Lightning Striking Twice"

The song idea is rooted in losing two moms to cancer. For listeners, could be anything that has hit multiple times but have survived . . . "just come find me"

lyrics

Lyrics:
First time the storm clouds darken
Rain starts falling, the electrical is calling
Then the winds silence
Just before the thunder

And it’s a looking out the window devil dealing kind of night
And your begging the blackness that she’ll be alright
Then a come play a while taunting smile
Flash of light rips her away

And your hearts under attack
And your body’s bruised and cracked
And your reeling in the pain
As you step outside of sane
It’s a strange kind of night
When lightning strikes your life

And just when you’ve found some shelter
The damage is healing, the sun brings back feeling,
And the rumble in your bones is calm
But you start to wonder

Cause it’s a well known feeling coming back of shaking ground
As your begging in her fading breaths that hope will be found
Then he dares a second time with his flash of light
To rob a life, but he doesn’t care

And you’ve already fought back
And you’ve passed on the past
And your pain is tethered
Your soul has been weathered
It’s an uneasy kind of night
When lightning strikes twice

See I used to believe that lightning never’d strike twice
But those storm doors shatter when fate plans your life
When your faith has been shaken and lives are taken
Proof of truth trump the lie

Now there’s nowhere left to run
And no hiding from the storm
And it’s out of your control
You just let go
Cause it’s a deja vous kind of night
When lightning strikes twice

And I never thought in one life
Lightning would strike twice
But if it’s meant to be, it’ll find me
Just come find me
