fireworks lyrics – first aid kit

i could have 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 you 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

stood out on that beach in chicago
woke up next to you on silverlake avenue
wherever i went, i always knew, always knew
until 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…
