Bottle rockets and smoke bombs lying dead on the sidewalk Are black marks on the concrete now but they were beautiful last night A picture of our life Can we make this what it was Everything is right, Everything is wrong Sparklers only burn for so long Tightrope walking balancing on a thin telephone line The wind blows and you want to call it off, the cars below keep going by
And now youre getting tired Careful youre gonna fall Everything is right, Everything is wrong Sparklers only burn for so long Im a pendulum that swings Trapped in the disappearing Of a setting sun, the moonlight at dawn A book of matches burning in its own reflection Everything is right, Everything is wrong
Letting go is the best way to hold on So watch the light dance in the dark until its gone Sparklers only burn for so long
