Cigarette Fireworks Lyrics

Beneath the downpour

I breathed the rain jacket smell

As I reached into my pockets

I touched the crumpled papers

Under the tiny fragments

I felt the stitch repair

I was still

Looking for traces of you there

Driving down the highway

I could taste the sweat of leather

As I watched the rows of scarlet

I bathed within their light

I saw the violet sparkle

Strike out the single line

I could dream

That you were mine

My head

Right in the back of my head

The words

We should have said

The words

We should have said

The lives we could have led

Through the crooked window

I saw the cigarette flying

As it touched upon the road

I saw the firework explode

Sending out radiant bands

As it cracked upon the land

I'd give anything

To hold it in my hands

My head

Right in the back of my head

The words

We should have said

The words

We should have said

The lives we could have led
