lyrics

Carolina, 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 god forsaken page rips out and tears up into parts, I’m tearing into parts

So Hallelujah, reads the church sign on the side walk now I pass along the five blocks to the amber colored door
What's it to ya if I still believe in magic see the beauty in our tragic and want to feel like there's something more

Since I told you that I love you and you said it isn't true, cus you treat love like a firework just to keep the sky amused and you might find that given time and once the fire burns the fuse, you still stand too close

California, can leave the money on the table and the silver in the halos of the angels in her sky
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

Since I told you that I love you and you said that might be true, but 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

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 over time the fire burns right down the fuse, but I'm still standing close
