[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 jungle 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 when the pages are all burned Going 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 fighting to forgive 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 jungle 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 when the pages are all burned Going 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 Head my God don't stop it Never mind I'll be drowned And I'm the holy water And all my thoughts of you They could be all through the room And now, don't tell me you're crying 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 It all ends up in the jungle 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 when the pages are all burned Going 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 It all ends up in the jungle 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 when the pages are all burned Going way back home on the fourth of July
