Sparklers

Bottle rockets and smoke bombs lying dead on the sidewalkAre black marks on the concrete now but they were beautiful last nightA picture of our lifeCan we make this what it wasEverything is right, Everything is wrongSparklers only burn for so longTightrope walking balancing on a thin telephone lineThe wind blows and you want to call it off, the cars below keep going byAnd now you�re getting tiredCareful you�re gonna fallEverything is right, Everything is wrongSparklers only burn for so longI�m a pendulum that swingsTrapped in the disappearingOf a setting sun, the moonlight at dawnA book of matches burning in its own reflectionEverything is right, Everything is wrongLetting go is the best way to hold onSo watch the light dance in the dark until it�s goneSparklers only burn for so long
