Fireworks

I could have sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night
As the lights flickered and they failed
I had it all figured out.

Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line.

I took a trip out to the frozen lake
And you felt so far away
But I could feel it washing over me
There's no escaping, the harsh light of day.

Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line.

Stood out on that beach in Chicago
Woke up next to you on Silverlake Avenue
Wherever I went, I always knew, always knew
Until I didn't know.

Why do I do this to myself
Every time I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one at the finish line.

I could've sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night.
