Firework

Carolina, I've been looking for the town

To tell you nothing feels the same

Since I moved back from where you are

Words don't line up

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 wanna 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

You still stand too close

California, you can leave the money on the table

In 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 the fire burns right down 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
