Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You play the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you lose trust
Then you get worried
Night after night, bar after club
Dropping like flies, who woke you up
On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?
First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry
Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first
First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry
There comes a time in a short life
Turn it around, get a rewrite
Call it a dark night of the soul
Ticking of clocks, gravity's pull
First you get close
Then you get worried
Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first
First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry
You're going silent, the silent treatment
It's not inviting now, don't deny
What you meant
You get excited, you get excited
You got to feel it, oh
At least you can pretend
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excited
Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first
Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first
First you get close
Then you get worried
First you get close
Then you get worried
(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)
First you get close
Then you get worried
(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)
First you get close
Then you get worried
(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends

I'm going to stay on my bed...
Until it's the 4th of July.
