[Hook]

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you'll never know may the bridges I have burned

Light my way back home on the fourth of July



[Verse 1]

I'll be as honest as you'll let me

I miss your early morning company

If you get me

You are my favorite "what if"

You are my best "I'll never know"

I'm starting to forget

Just what summer ever meant to you

What did it ever mean to you?



[Pre-Hook]

Oh I'm sorry I didn't wait

I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa

In between being young and being right

You were my Versailles at night



[Hook]

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

It all ends up in the June gloom too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you'll never know may the bridges I have burned

Light my way back home on the fourth of July



[Verse 2]

My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars

Again and again till I'm stuck in your head

Had my doubts but I let them out

You are the drought

And I'm the holy water you have been without

And all my thoughts of you

They could heat or cool the room

And no, don't tell me you cried

Oh honey, you don't have to lie



[Pre-Hook]

Oh I'm sorry I didn't wait

I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa

In between being young and being right

You were my Versailles at night



[Hook]

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you'll never know may the bridges I have burned

Light my way back home on the fourth of July



[Bridge]

I wish I'd known how much you loved me

I wish I cared enough to know

I'm sorry every song's about you

The torture of small talk with someone you used to love



[Hook]

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you'll never know may the bridges I have burned

Light my way back home on the fourth of July
