Canyon City – Firework lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caroline
I've been looking for the time to tell you
Nothing feels the same
Since I moved back from where you are
Words don't line up
And every time I try to lay them down
The godforsaken page rips out and tears up into parts
I’m tearing into parts

[Verse 2]
So Hallelujah
Reads the church sign
On the sidewalk
Now I pass along the five blocks
To the amber colored door
What's it to you
If I still believe in magic
See the beauty in our tragic
And want to feel like there's something more

[Chorus 1]
Since I told you that I love you
And you said that isn't true
'Cause you treat love like a firework
Just to keep the sky amused
And you might find that given time
The fire burns right down the fuse
And you still stand too close

[Verse 3]
California
Can leave the money on the table
And the silver in the halos of the angels in her sky
But I adore you
So I'm getting on this train home
And I'm letting all these stars go
I'm sleeping through the night

[Chorus 2]
Since I told you that I love you
And you said it might be true
But you treat love like a firework
Just to keep the sky amused
And you might find that over time
And once the fire burns the fuse
You still stand too close

[Chorus 3]
If I said again I love you
Would you say you know it's true
We can treat love like a firework
Just to keep the sky amused
And we might find that given time
The fire burns right down the fuse
But I'm still standing close

[Instrumental]
