Resolutions Like Fireworks Lyrics

I saw the red and blue

When they came to take your smile away

Like they'd been waiting there all day

Never sleeping, never keeping

Promises they made

With nowhere better to be

Waiting, the hospital sings out of key

In the room next door

They turned out your light

I just don't feel like sleeping tonight

We wound the clocks back to eleven

So their faces say that you're still here

Because we know the hospital's still singing

The only song that it knows

The song that carried you out

On the night they came to take your smile away

In the room next door

They turned out your light

I just don't feel like sleeping tonight

When we were young we were invincible

And machines didn't belong

Near your heart at all

And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing

But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes

I didn't want to be the one that let you down

Like your New Year’s resolutions

I didn't want to be the one that saw you drown

In the water by the hill beneath the fireworks

In the room next door

They turned out your light

I just don't feel like sleeping tonight

When we were young we were invincible

And machines didn't belong

Near your heart at all

And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing

But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes

I remember the cold night

The time I felt like I might die

Then I saw the lights go out

She told you to close your eyes

Just close your eyes and let sleep

Come and take you now

Red and blue came to take your smile away

I saw the lights go out in the room next to me

When we were young we were invincible

And machines didn't belong

Near your heart at all

And medicine wasn't what kept you breathing

But now grey has replaced the green in your eyes
