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 sidewalk Now I pass along the five blocks To the amber colored door What's it to you 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 'Cause 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 But 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
