Fireworks Lyrics

When I die, I hope that you’re right next to me
It’d be a shame to realize that there are no flashes
No grand finales, no time
It’s just too little too late
All memories are erased
And I’m looking for your face

I’m grasping for you, and coming up empty
Don’t we all deserve fireworks?
Forgive me for saying, but this death deserves fireworks
Don’t we all deserve fireworks?

Leave me here, my love, amongst the leaves, don’t worry
When the grass it grows around me
If it rains, it rains, it rains
Would you visit me here in this place
Whisper to me, touch my face
Would you fight my battles
Don’t let them forget that I mattered
All my life I believed that there was something better for me
But death takes everything

So I hope you’re next to me, so you can watch over me
We’ll hang around and we’ll stand our ground
Until we get what we deserve
Don’t we all deserve fireworks?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
