Lyrics Under the Fireworks - Sam Tsui

Under the Fireworks

The smell of summer, the dark days
A roll of thunder in the low haze
Sparklers of the lawn spellin' words out
Standin' on my own, watch 'em burn out
Something’s broken, still the band plays
I’m blowin' on a dark sky
And fallin' to the ground
Colors escapin' my eyes
From ever lookin' down
I guess I’m seein' what I shoulda known
In shades of red and blue and gold and yellow
But suddenly the truth hurts
Under the fireworks
Roman candles on my rooftop
Detonation like a backdrop
So you say you miss how it used to feel
But how you gonna miss what was never real?
Once you light the fuse you won’t stop
I’m blowin' on a dark sky
And fallin' to the ground
Colors escapin' my eyes
From ever lookin' down
I guess I’m seein' what I shoulda known
In shades of red and blue and gold and yellow
But suddenly the truth hurts
Under the fireworks
Under the fireworks, yeah
Under the fireworks, na
Under the fireworks
And suddenly the truth hurts
Guess I’m seein' what I shoulda known
In shades of red and blue and gold
And suddenly the truth hurts
Under the fireworks
