Under The Fireworks

(album: Yearbook - 2020)

The smell of summer, the dark days
A roll of thunder in the low haze
Sparklers of the lawn spelling words out
Standing on my own, watch 'em burn out
Something's broken, still the band plays

I'm blowing on a dark sky
And falling to the ground
Colors escaping my eyes
From ever looking down
I guess I'm seeing 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 blowing on a dark sky
And falling to the ground
Colors escaping my eyes
From ever looking down
I guess I'm seeing 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 seeing what I shoulda known
In shades of red and blue and gold
And suddenly the truth hurts
Under the fireworks
