Fireworks Lyrics

Watch the hours pass us by

It's just you and I

And I can't sing good, but I'll sing to you

Play pretend, outlast our youth

You're the only thing

That ever could

Make me live forever

We won't be young forever

I know that girl

But let's be young together

I see fireworks

In your eyes

I see the reflection

Of the rest of my life

And I feel tidal waves

Touching heaven's gates

What's that smell, huh?

Is it soulmates?

Or is it just that new colgate

I knew that shit, from the fucking first date

I hate to pretending to be what I really ain't

There s a big soul somewhere waiting

I can't lie

I'm scared of being ordinary

But chronic mental pain

Means it's not momentary

And that feeling in your chest

That made warriors fight

Is what makes me wanna

Write and produce all night

But I when meet a woman

Everything's changed

After a while with a woman

Everything's pain

I'm not looking for a girl

I'm looking for myself

I just hope I remember this

When I next meet someone else

I see fireworks

In your eyes

I see the reflection

Of the rest of my life

And I feel tidal waves

Touching heaven's gates

What's that smell, huh?

Is it soulmates?

Or is it me making a mistake

It wouldn't be the first time, no way

These fucking green lights, making me feel like Jay

Gatsby

What the fuck does that mean?

The look in your eyes

What the fuck could that be?

You're the moon to my sailor-lost-at-sea mentality

The banality

Of the conversation

Is a clear cut sign

That it cannot be

But I see fireworks

Where there is nothing to see

All the sparks would lead

To some artificial dream

You said we're doomed

I'm starting to think

That we were just weak

But was there ever something there?

Of just the depth of our despair

I see fireworks

In your eyes

I see the reflection

Of the rest of my life

And I feel tidal waves

Touching heaven's gates

What's that smell, huh?

Is it soulmates?

Nah,

I'm just a sentimental inmate

Spilling stardust from the fucking first date

Looking for somebody who can relate

To the loving, to the pain, to the grief to the hate

It's what I look for, in the hoes and in the green

And think of all the places, I wish I had been

This desperation to find somebody like me

Gets me seeing fireworks where there is nothing to see
