Fireworks

Watching fireworks

On the front lawn

Humming melodies

To all my loved ones lost

I didn’t know it then

You put the gun to your head

And I could feel the heat roll off of my cheeks

While they burst and bloom, like all of the voices in crowded rooms

Made me so nervous I couldn’t speak

Well, I'll just stare down at my feet

For years and years and years

I don’t know you

Like I used to

We haven’t talked much

Since your big move out

I bet I’d be so proud, to look at you now

And I could feel the steam roll off of my teeth

All those sleepless nights out on the roof of your parents, I

Could’ve sworn that I’d see you soon

Could’ve sworn we were staring at the same Moon that night

And I can feel the heat roll off of my cheeks

While they burst and bloom, like all of the voices in crowded rooms

Made me so nervous I couldn’t speak

Well, I’ll just stare down at my feet

For years and years and years, God
