I could’ve sworn I saw fireworks
From your house last night.
As the lights flickered and they failed,
I had it all figured out.
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.
I am the only one at the finish line.
I took a trip out to the frozen lake,
And it felt so far away,
But I could feel it washing over me,
There’s no escaping the harsh light of day.
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.
I am the only one at the finish line.
Sit out on that beach in Chicago,
Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue.
Wherever I went I always knew, always knew,
Till I didn’t know.
Why do I do this to myself every time?
I know the way it ends before it’s even begun.
I am the only one at the finish line.
I could’ve sworn I saw fireworks
From your house last night.
