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.
