Standard (EADGBE)

explosions pillaging the night

 from the fireworks on the fourth of july

it's just my lady, our friends and i

smoking cigars and yelling at cars as they drive by

we scaled a ladder ascending to the roof

while five years ago I weeped and no one knew

holding my guitar, i strummed a tune

i sang 'i love you, but i have to cut you loose'

 as the neighbor lights off small bombs we watch

 from the rooftop safely, so safely

if i had never let go, then only god knows where i would be now

i made a bridge between us then i slowly burned it

five years ago, in my backyard i sang love away

little did i know that real love had not quite yet found me
