July 4th

Once upon a time
In a little town
There's a little girl
Who's grown up now
And I
Think about her every night
Well I bet she's
Doing fine
She's got a job
And a brand-new life
Without
Me around

And we don't talk
Anymore
And it breaks my heart that it
Doesn't break yours

Well There's a fire in the sky
On the Fourth of July
But there's something
That still hurts inside
Wishing it was you and me
Under these lights
An empty chair
Waiting on the stairs
Under bright white
And a smoking air
These colors couldn't
Get you off my mind
Tonight

Once upon a time
In a little town
There's a little boy
Who's crying now
Cause he
Don't wanna say goodbye
So tell me I'm insane
But it's kinda hard to forget your name
Sometimes
I never try

And we don't talk
Anymore
And it breaks my heart as if
I used to be yours

There's a fire in the sky
On the Fourth of July
But there's something
That still hurts inside
Wishing it was you and me
Under these lights
An empty chair
Waiting on the stairs
Under bright white
And a smoking air
These colors couldn't
Get you off my mind
Tonight

And If I
Could write
Your name across the sky
Would it make you mine
Cause I'm afraid I'd cry
If I ever had to say to you goodbye

Once upon a time
In a little town
There's a
Little boy who's crying now
Cause he
Don't want to say goodbye
