Fireworks Lyrics

This maze is getting to my head
Swear I've seen this wall before
No booby traps, a picket fence
Just daisies and a pantry door

There's caffeine on the floor
Adventure in the air
Who knew your heart could beat so freakin' fast
That you forget to comb your hair?

And for the first time
The ground here
Makes perfect sense
And for the last time
I'm waiting for
These fireworks to fall down on me
Fall down on me

Your baby teeth will fall away
But your tongue and taste will still complain
You'll smile knowing someday soon that
Things will change, God, I hope they change

And I hope someday you find
The long awaited peace of mind
Either that or something you can hold

'Cause if you were hoping I could save the day
Shoot me in the leg
I swear that you'll feel better

Or if you'd simply rather run away
I completely understand
Fly away and blow to smithereens like a fire

My feet are getting tired
And my heart is getting torn, oh,
And I realize it's too late for me
I've already been born

And for the first time
In a long time
I can think straight
And I'm not sure that I like it

It's like a bed
These sheets are new
But when they're taken off
It's like I'm covering you

'Cause you are scared
Where monsters lurk
Wish you could fly away
And explode just like a firework

And let's just say for old time's sake
We'll pull it really fake
Smile with our accents

But I have to say
That this one takes the cake
Are you calling me a liar?
Well, I'll show you, you yellow-belly jerk

It'll be like three, two, one
I'm gone
Out to the great unknown
For a moment, I'll be free
'Til I'll explode

'Til I'm like one
'Til I'm like one, one of them fireworks
'Til I'm like one
'Til I'm like one, one of those fireworks
