Fireworks Lyrics

When you took me home from the airport, I fell asleep

The sound of the car was driving me insane

I was not ready to be afraid of the ocean

But you took me sailing anyway

On the fourth of july, when the sky was loud and angry

"It's now or never," you'd always say

But you've been trying to catch this thing for ten years already

I'm only nine, I want to go home

You've been trying to catch this thing for ten years already

I don't wanna die, I wanna go home

The fireworks woke him up, and he wasn't happy

He was so much taller than our little boat

He must have had a hundred scars from people just like me

I think we probably should have left him alone

He was crying smoke, he was breathing fire and brimstone

I turned to tell you what you already know

You've been trying to catch this thing for ten years already

I'm only nine, I want to go home

You've been trying to catch this thing for ten years already

I don't wanna die, I wanna go home
