Roman Candles

As the long day turns into short night
You shut off the light in your room
Old poetry books and mystic lore
Scatter the floor in this gloom

Asleep you're lost inside your mind
The only shelter now you could find
I promise when all of this is through
I'll shoot roman candles with you

Spending our days outrunning the rain
Away from our pain and our fear
Now staying inside on our Fourth of July
Means wondering why we're still here

Now shoot your sparks on over to me
But save those fireworks for me to see
I promise when all of this is through
I'll shoot roman candles with you
Roman candles with you
Roman candles with you
Roman candles

When morning comes and the dawn shines upon
The lines we have drawn in cold days
We'll see all good things deserve a good time
That it's not a crime to stargaze
