"Bottle Up Lightning" adalah sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh grup musik country Lady Antebellum. Liriknya bercerita tentang penyesalan seseorang yang tidak berani mengambil peluang dalam suatu hubungan. Lagu ini mengekspresikan rasa sakit karena kehilangan seseorang yang dicintai, meskipun tahu bahwa mereka tidak seharusnya bersama. Penyanyi tersebut berharap mereka bisa mengubah masa lalu dan memperjuangkan hubungan mereka, tetapi pada akhirnya mereka menyadari bahwa menahan seseorang yang tidak bisa mereka miliki sama mustahilnya dengan "menahan petir dalam botol."
Bottle Up Lightning Lyrics
Lady Antebellum
(Whatever you wanna do)
Look me up when you're back in town
You know the number I'll be around
Doing what I do
Been living my life as a simple man
And being alright with where i am
But when it come to you
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
There's one little voice on the inside,
That's dying to tell you don't say goodbye
But I can't make you stay
You might stay a day or a couple weeks
But sooner or later you'll find your wings
And you'll just fly away
And you'll hear me say,
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
To bottle up lightning
Look me up when you're back in town
You know the number I'll be around
Doing what I do
Been living my life as a simple man
And being alright with where i am
But when it come to you
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
There's one little voice on the inside,
That's dying to tell you don't say goodbye
But I can't make you stay
You might stay a day or a couple weeks
But sooner or later you'll find your wings
And you'll just fly away
And you'll hear me say,
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
I wish I would've taken a few more chances
spun you 'round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning
To bottle up lightning
