Song Lyrics

Oh, this is how it starts
Lightning strikes the heart
Goes off like a gun
Brighter than the sun

Stopped me on the corner
I swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expecting
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go with it
Don't you blink you might miss it
See we got a right to just love it or leave it
You find it and keep it
Cause it ain't every day you get the chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

I never seen it
I found this love I'm gonna feed
You better believe I'm gonna treat it
better than anything I've had 'cause you're so damn beautiful
Read it, it's signed and delivered let's seal it
Boy, we go together like peanuts, and paydays, and money, and reggae
And everybody needs to get a chance to say

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Everything is like a white owl, cause we shake a shake a shine down
Even when the light's out but I can see you glow
Got my head up in the rafters, got me happy ever after
Never felt this way before, ain't felt this way before

Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun
Oh, we could be the stars, falling from the sky
Shining how we want, brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts
Lightning strikes the heart
Goes off like a gun
Brighter than the sun

Oh, this is how it starts
Lightning strikes the heart
Goes off like a gun
Brighter than the sun
