Lightning
Cash Cash ft John Rzeznik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you said, "how'd I let this slip away?"
On the floor, cold and barely breathing
So it goes
Sleeping all my dreams away
'Til you found me
Like a lightning bolt to the heart
Yeah, you brought me out of the dark
With just one spark, just one spark
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
I was all you thought you ever needed
So you said, "how the hell did I let this slip away?"
Have I lost myself?
I was stumbling right on the edge
You pulled me back, for one last dance
Yeah, I was lost on the darkest road
I need your light to lead me home
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
Can you feel me
Like I feel you
Can our hearts still be together?
This is our time,
Don't you waste it
We can sing this song forever
Can you feel me
Like I feel you
Can our hearts still be together?
This is our time,
Don't you waste it
We can sing this song forever
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
The lyrics to "Lightning" are about the singer's lover who had let their relationship slip away due to their own mistakes, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. However, their lover eventually comes back into their life, sparking new life in the singer's soul, much like a lightning bolt. The chorus reflects this idea, as it focuses on how the lover's return had "woke" the singer up and breathed new life into them. The second verse again highlights the singer's reliance on their lover to rescue them from their dark thoughts and guide them back to a happier place.
The bridge suggests a plea from the singer to their lover to let this newfound love be forever and not waste the opportunity they've been given. The lyrics convey a feeling of love and hope, with the idea that despite mistakes and missteps, true love can still exist and have a chance to thrive if given the opportunity.

At one point, you believed that I was everything you wanted in life
So you said, "how'd I let this slip away?"
After we separated, you questioned how you could let me leave your life
On the floor, cold and barely breathing

You brought me back from the brink and gave me one more chance to be with you
