Lightning Lyrics
[Intro]
(Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 1]
Can you give it all?
A look when I don't feel seen
Turn the nightmare into a dream
A promise you can keep
Can you give it all?
Your lips when I feel insane
Make me float like balloons in the rain
Show me love's not just a wicked game to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, little baby, let's stay high
We can fly, let's get high
I can give you all of me every night
Tonight, tonight
[Chorus]
It's emotional to love the star you are
You are the lightning in my life (Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
It's emotional to love the star you are
You are the lightning in my life (Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Post-Chorus]
(Comе on, little baby, come on, little baby)
(Comе on, little baby, come on, little baby)
[Verse 2]
Please, don't you wear me down (Wear me down)
Unless you wear me out (Wear me out)
I'm getting closer now (Closer now)
Tonight, tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, little baby, let's stay high
We can fly, let's get high
I can give you all of me every night (Every night)
[Chorus]
It's emotional to love the star you are
You are the lightning in my life (Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Post-Chorus]
(Closer, let down slowly)
(Tell me why)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Closer, let go)
(Please, let me judge my life)
C'mon, little baby, c'mon, little baby
(Come bring me my life)
[Bridge]
Please, don't you wear me down (Wear me down)
Unless you wear me out (Wear me out)
I'm getting closer now (Closer now)
(Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
It's emotional to love the star you are
You are the lightning in my life (Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
It's emotional to love the star you are
You are the lightning in my life (Oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)

What did Jessie Ware say about "Lightning"?
We wrote 2 songs, “Free Yourself” was the second song that we wrote of the day and that is not usual, by the way. We wrote this amazing song called “Lightning” that’s on the record that’s like this R&B song and I love it and it makes me kind of go back to, like, my ‘yearning to be Sade’ days. An...
What else has Jessie said about the song?
It’s a slow jam. I’m entitled to have slow jams. I kind of have always danced within this R&B world, and I love it. I like that I can be versatile, and it is a bit of a gear change.

What else has Jessie said about the song?
I was definitely leaning into a more R&B moment: This pulled from Sade, Madlib, Drake. There needed to be a bit of space on the record to just take a moment, but I also wanted to feel like it could connect with the rest of the album. This is my husband’s favourite tune: it’s sex, it’s languid, i...
