under the fireworks

the smell of summer

the dark days

a roll of thunder in the low haze

sparklers of the lawn spellin' words out

standin' on my own

watch 'em burn out

something's broken

still the band plays

i'm blowin' on a dark sky

and fallin' to the ground

colors escapin' my eyes

from ever lookin' down

i guess i'm seein' what i shoulda known

in shades of red and blue and gold and yellow

but suddenly the truth hurts

under the fireworks

roman candles on my rooftop

detonation like a backdrop

so you say you miss how it used to feel

but how you gonna miss what was never real?

once you light the fuse you won't stop

i'm blowin' on a dark sky

and fallin' to the ground

colors escapin' my eyes

from ever lookin' down

i guess i'm seein' what i shoulda known

in shades of red and blue and gold and yellow

but suddenly the truth hurts

under the fireworks

under the fireworks

yeah

under the fireworks

na

under the fireworks

and suddenly the truth hurts

guess i'm seein' what i shoulda known

in shades of red and blue and gold

and suddenly the truth hurts

under the fireworks
