John Alex Cook - Fireworks

Our first date was by the river on the 4th of July
We snuck Captain Morgan in a Pepsi bottle and found a spot to lie
At dusk we lay in the grass as the sky turned orange and red
And watched as red white and blue rockets exploded over our heads

Your lips were so soft when we kissed...
You I could taste the liquor on your breath

There were fireworks
Sparks flew between our fingers
And lightning crackled between our tongues
You were my lover
Everything's easy when it's fun
But was it me or you leading us on?

I remember you naked in the rope lights that hung around your room
They highlighted your cheek bones. I'll never forget the way you looked
You stood like a sorceress with me under your spell
At night attracted like magnets... in the morning we'd repel

When the nighttime part of love is so satisfying
In the daytime you just stop trying

There were fireworks
Sparks flew between our fingers
And lightning crackled between our tongues
You were my lover
Everything's easy when it's fun
But was it me or you leading us on?

Was I complacent? Or lazy? Out of love or out of luck?
Were you lonely or smothered? I was never enough
But i should tell you how you looked...
Under a sky of flashing rockets that reflected in your eyes
And how I know the woman you put on make up to hide
Every explosion that left a ringing in my ears
Never stopped your giggles of excitement being all I could hear
Let's go back this evening, hold hands and look up at the sky
Imagine me in color, and lets see what we find...

We'll find fireworks
Sparks between fingers
And reignite the lightning we had once
Be my lover
One more time before you're gone...
Tonight... lets lead each other on
