like roman candles
we flickered through the night
on fire. no motives. just right. all right
and i wish
that we could go back
but it’s alright for us to stay
and i wish
this was just nothing
but it’s alright for it to stay
get out of my way
but all, all i wanna do
is make a fool, make a fool of you
cause all, all i really know
is what i tell myself when i’m alone
so please don’t toe the line
i think it’s time to get a move-on, sing a new song
i will be singing your praises
one of these days, but not today
and i wish
that we could go back
but it’s alright for us to stay
and i wish
this was just nothing
but it’s alright for it to stay
get out of my way
