Fireworks

I'd known you just about my whole life But always thought you were so far out of my league That I didn't really think anything of it When you came down with my friends For that weekend at the beach We spent the whole day in the water and the sun You got a tan, and I got burned And as the celebrations started that evening You came up next to me I was barely breathing On the 4th of July without a cloud in the sky With the waves crashing on the coast And through the summer heat, I felt a chill over me When you grabbed my arm and leaned in close A thousand colors and lights were exploding And I wanted you so bad that it hurt You looked me straight in the eyes Took my world by surprise And kissed me underneath the fireworks That year turned into the best one I'd ever known We both fell in love and it kept on growing I thought for sure you were the one So to make you proud I started looking for a ring and started planning how Then something happened I felt you pulling away I never understood it and you never really explained So I thought I'd take you back to where it all started And never guessed that's where I'd end up broken-hearted On the 4th of July without a cloud in the sky With the waves crashing on the coast And through the summer heat, I felt a chill over me When you grabbed my arm and leaned in close A thousand colors and lights were exploding And I wanted you so bad that it hurt You looked me straight in the eyes Took my world by surprise And left me underneath the fireworks Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, ooh As the season past, I never really moved on I'd be with different people, but that part of me was gone So years later just to wallow in the past I took a trip to that same pier with a whiskey flask Standing there sipping fire and memories Bottle rockets lit the sky, but what made me blink Was from the distance like a ghost or a dream I saw you walking up the beach And walk right up to me On the 4th of July without a cloud in the sky With the waves crashing on the coast And through the summer heat, I felt a chill over me When you grabbed my arm and leaned in close A thousand colors and lights were exploding And I wanted you so bad that it hurt You looked me straight in the eyes Took my world by surprise And found me underneath the fireworks Oh yeah, ooh I fell in love, then I lost it Then I found it Underneath the fireworks
