Firework

Carolina
I've been looking for the time to tell you
Nothing feels the same
Since I moved back from where you are
Words don't line up
And every time I try to lay them down
The godforsaken 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 want to 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
And you still stand too close
California
Can leave the money on the table
In the silver and 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
And once the fire burns 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
