Explosions pillaging the night Like fireworks on the Fourth of July It's me my lady our friends and I Smoking cigars and yelling at cars as they travel by We scaled a ladder ascending to the roof While five years ago I wept and no one knew Holding my guitar I strummed a tune Singing, "I love you but I have to cut you loose" Ah-ah-ahah-ah-ahah-ah-ah-ahah-ah-ah (Repeat) The neighbors light off Small bombs we watch From the rooftops Safely, so safely If I'd never let go Then only god knows where I would be know I built a bridge between us and I slowly burned it Five years ago in my backyard I sang love away Little did I know, real love had not quite yet found me Ah-ah-ahah-ah-ahah-ah-ah-ahah-ah-ah (Repeat)
