(You and I were, you and I were fire. You and I were, you and I were fire. You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fire)
It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I miss you when you jump up too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I'd never miss you But I guess you'll never know Where the bridges I have burned never led back home On the fourth of July
I'll be as honest as you let me I miss your early morning company If you get me You are my favorite "what if" You are my best "I'll never know"
I'm starting to forget Just what summer ever meant to you What did it ever mean to you?
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa In between being young and being right You were my Versailles at night
It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I miss you when you jump up too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I'd never miss you But I guess you'll never know Where the bridges I have burned never led back home On the fourth of July
My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars Again and again 'til I'm stuck in your head Had my doubts, but I let them out You are the drought And I'm the holy water you have been without
And all my thoughts of you They could heat or cool the room And no, don't tell me you're crying Oh, honey, you don't have to lie
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any of it I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa In between being young and being right You were my Versailles at night
It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I miss you when you jump up too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I'd never miss you But I guess you'll never know Where the bridges I have burned never led back home On the fourth of July
I wish I'd known how much you loved me I wish I cared enough to know I'm sorry every song's about you The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I miss you when you jump up too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I'd never miss you But I guess you'll never know Where the bridges I have burned never led back home On the fourth of July
