Fireworks in May Lyrics

Sail gently into the stillness of the night

And let our heartbeats rest for the longest while

I've dug our issues and purged them all away

Let the tides rise up and wash them in

I feel the calmness of the seas in the palm

Of your hands tonight

Why are we here?

You smile softly as your eyes pierce through mine

Hold me closely as the winds freeze the night

Minutes pass in silence as I wonder

If what comes next are thunders

When you decide to end things right here

And I'll be with nothing but poignant tears

Finally, I break the blaring silence

And ask if we are meeting some friends

You say, "No. Please

Have some patience. It's starting

Any second now." Puzzles and ruffles

Break in my mind

I shut them out and look back at the sky

I hope you know I trust you

More than what myself refuse to

There and there, I hear some bomb-like combust

I watch the night sky set ablaze

In different colors and a million hues

Bombastic sounds all over the place

Sparks shower the island in a haze

My eyes gleam in the daze

You look at me and grin

The beam in my face I cannot feign

It's been a minute later before you speak

Addressing the proverbial elephant of why we're here

"You know, I'll never be perfect. But I hope

You'll stick around even so." I just smile at you, hoping

you already know

I never asked perfection from God

That very first Mass we went to

Just a pure heart capable of love

From the guy I terribly fell into

And just like those fireworks, I hope you know I burn for you
