Decline Of A Midwestern Civilization - Fireworks

So I stayed the night hoping you and I

Would fix this shit, sorry can I get it right

But the lights are off

And I had my doubts she can’t be gone

Using photographs

We’re over exposed when the shutter snaps

We’re the best damn actors imitating our past (we won’t last)

Drowning in the midwest, so let the water fill your lungs

And make sure you do your best

To obtain oxygen to make them last

Stories told, lives are sold

We can’t hold everything I promised you

It was a long shot and I missed in the dark

Come on, let’s forget how to breathe

It’s the only way we used to be

So I stayed the night hoping you and I

Would fix this shit, sorry can I get it right

But the lights are off

And I had my doubts she can’t be gone

All this time we cross each others body lines

We were fighting on

What can I say?

I was vulnerable at the way

(And your crazy) Driving me crazy

What can I say?

We were determined to make it out

(And your crazy) Driving me crazy

Stories told, lives are sold

We can’t hold everything I promised you

Everything I promised you

So come on, let’s forget how to breathe

So I stayed the night hoping you and I

Would fix this shit, sorry can I get it right

But the lights are off

And I had my doubts she can’t be gone

All this time we cross each others body lines

We were fighting on
