Fireworks lyrics

I could’ve sworn I saw fireworks

From your house last night.

As the lights flickered and they failed,

I had it all figured out.

Why do I do this to myself every time?

I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.

I am the only one at the finish line.

I took a trip out to the frozen lake,

And it felt so far away,

But I could feel it washing over me,

There’s no escaping the harsh light of day.

Why do I do this to myself every time?

I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.

I am the only one at the finish line.

Sit out on that beach in Chicago,

Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue.

Wherever I went I always knew, always knew,

Till I didn’t know.

Why do I do this to myself every time?

I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.

I am the only one at the finish line.

I could’ve sworn I saw fireworks

From your house last night.
