What do I do when lightning strikes me?
Reflecting on how to handle a sudden and impactful event, such as a metaphorical lightning strike.
And I wake up and find that you're not there
Waking up to the absence of the person, possibly indicating a sense of loss.
What've I gotta do to make you want me?

Mmm hmm, what've I gotta do to be heard?

What do I say when it's all over?
