I shot a rocket in the sky last evening

I thought that you might come around

But all my curiosities rather went up in smoke

Once that flame came down

Cause I don’t know if you’d even stare

When fireworks romance in the air

It’d be a lot more fun up there

Exploding colours across a canvas bare

(That’s why)

I don’t wanna fly across the sky

If you ain’t sailing by my side

Come be my hanabi tonight

Seems like these days all that I hear is sighing

From outcomes you just can’t control

But when you focus on the positives

The negatives won’t so much take their toll or take control

Cause I don’t know if you’d even stare

When fireworks romance in the air

It’d be a lot more fun up there

Exploding colours across a canvas bare

(That’s why)

I don’t wanna fly across the sky

If you ain’t sailing by my side

Come be my hanabi tonight

Sometimes when I look outside

And the moon is bright

Everybody is asleep but I am too mesmerised by the fire light

You’re awake too ain’t ya

You can feel the shine

Shine brighter than the lows in your life take you higher than a kite till you’re by my side

I shot a rocket in the sky

But you don’t even care or understand why

I shot a rocket in the sky

But you don’t even care or understand why

I don’t wanna fly across the sky

If you ain’t sailing by my side

Come be my hanabi tonight

I don’t wanna fly across the sky

If you ain’t sailing by my side

Come be my hanabi tonight

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
