Firework

Carolina

I've been looking for the time to tell you

Nothing feels the same

Since I moved back from where you are

Words don't line up

And every time I try to lay them down

The god forsaken page rips out and tears up into parts

I'm tearing into parts

So Hallelujah

Reads the church sign

On the side walk

Now I pass along the five blocks

To the amber colored door

What's it to ya

If I still believe in magic

See the beauty in our tragic

And want to feel like there's something more

Since I told you that I love you

And you said that isn't true

Cus you treat love like a firework

Just to keep the sky amused

And you might find that given time

The fire burns right down the fuse

And you still stand too close

California

Can leave the money on the table

And the silver in the halos of the angels in her sky

I adore you

So I'm getting on this train home

And I'm letting all these stars go

I'm sleeping through the night

Since I told you that I love you

And you said it might be true

But you treat love like a firework

Just to keep the sky amused

And you might find that over time

And once the fire burns the fuse

You still stand too close

If I said again I love you

Would you say you know it's true

We can treat love like a firework

Just to keep the sky amused

And we might find that given time

The fire burns right down the fuse

But I'm still standing close
