The central conceit of this song is a person’s inability to replicate the proverbial lightning in a bottle. As significant feelings and events only exist in the moment and inevitably fade with the passage of time, people should just learn to enjoy them as they come instead of trying to hold onto tho...
The love that pounds your heart through your chest every night
Until the bed jumps beneath you and scares you white
Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't. You can't
Goose-bumps that don't fade away
They can't remain
I've opened the box and I've touched the treasures of the earth
They're buried on the island far away
And I'm here in England with the map burning my pocket
Dreaming of diamonds..
Such a blinding secret to bear
Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't . You can't
Goose-bumps that don't fade away
They can't remain
Hold the perfect moment
Pin the cloud to the sky
Grab the spark and hold it
You can TRY..
I've looked into a million laughing unhappinesses
In every bar and on the TV
But I know the real thing
I can remember
I can almost tell you how it is
Trap the spark and hold it there
You can't. You can't
Goosebumps that don't fade away
They can't remain
Photograph a feeling
Pin the cloud to the sky
Trap the spark and hold it
You can try
Trap the spark and hold it there
Grab the spark and hold it there
