lyrics

And the light from your window always shines into mine
We're always awake at the same time
Well, I guess that's just the way we are
So close but always too far

We were watching the fireworks on your roof
Both of us pretending not to know the truth
So we will keep the words unsaid
And we'll just lie here like this instead

Just across the street, but it feels too far
From who we were and where we are
We always promised to save the last dance
But it passed before we knew we missed our chance

Sorry about your boyfriend
I never liked that guy
But when I blacked his eye, everybody knew
You were the reason why

Everyone saw the fireworks except you
We could never seem to ever light that fuse
No finale leading up to the end
Just silence on our street instead

We were watching the fireworks on your roof
Both of us pretending not to know the truth
So we keep the words unsaid
And just lie here like this. Just lie instead.
