We Were A Roman Candle - There Will Be Fireworks

It’s 10 to 5, you probably should start walking

Or else you won’t get home before it gets light

So if the Earth should spin right off its axis

And roll out into space you’d be wrapped up tight

So if it all came tumbling down

You wouldn’t be aware, you wouldn’t hear a sound

And when the walls come crashing in

Leaving pock marks where our houses should have been

I could have been more cautious

I could have been less kind

I should have held my tongue until I knew that it was right

I could have been more careful

I wonder if you tried

To brace yourself from falling

To compete with my high

But there’s no happy ending

Won’t be a big surprise

We were a roman candle, we burned out in the night

This is fact not fiction

Should have held them in your lungs

The words I said are spinning, reeling

The way that you’d use wait a turn

I could have been more cautious

I could have been less kind

I should have held my tongue until I knew that it was right

I could have been more careful

I wonder if you tried

To brace yourself from falling

Needless of my high

But there’s no happy ending

Won’t be a big surprise

We were a roman candle, and we burned out in the night

This is fact not fiction

Should have held them in your lungs

The words I said are spinning, reeling

The way that you’d use wait a turn

Words.

Mean.

Say

Only fools

Only fools rush in

And I’m no fool
