It Won't Happen Twice - Lyrics - M. Ward

Oh, lightning may strike your poor heart tonight But it won't happen twice, my friend And all the love you deserve is coming on stormy winds And I was jealous and cruel to a young girl I knew But it wont happen twice, my friend Oh, if I get the chance I'll be braver like holy wine And disaster has riddled my body with holes But it won't happen twice, my friend It won't happen twice, my friend And I know it because I know it, child It cannot happen again And a hurricane blew my bright stars away But it won't happen twice, my friend I'm flat on my back and I'm traveling like dizzy spells All these inside fires have burned up these outside things All these inside fires have burned up these outside things But it won't happen twice, my friend It won't happen twice, my friend And I know it 'cause I know it, child It cannot happen again Oh, it won't happen twice, my friend And I know it 'cause I know it, child It cannot, cannot happen again
