Bottle Rocket Lyrics

How come the people that I fall in love with never want me?

I've held my tongue so many times it's coming back to bite me

I've always been polite, head over heels but I never ever let on

I hate to say it but I tend to find most people boring

But then you came along and I lost all my self control and you made a fool of me

Can't get my foot from my teeth

I'm hopelessly into you

If I'm a sparkler you're a bottle rocket

And there's no chance of lifting off with you

I wanna hold on, but you're slipping through my fingers

And I'm not ready to let go of you

I won't admit it but I don't know what it is I'm after

I'm like a dog that's chasing cars

I don't know what I'd do if I ever caught up to you

You're a shape in the water and you're slipping out of view

If I'm a sparkler you're a bottle rocket

And there's no chance of lifting off with you

I wanna hold on, but you're slipping through my fingers

And I'm not ready to let go of you
