Listen & Forgive

Find me again

Like a rusted bike

In your backyard

And pull me from the debris

I’m covered up in dust and leaves.

We’re lighting fires in July

To cleanse us of the heat

You beg, you plead,

You promise not to leave

You’re just like everyone

You’re just like everything

Smoke reaches for the stars

But settles for the glass

You tried your best to save your best for last

But now your time has passed

Now your time has passed

While living in your past.

We’re lighting fires in July

To cleanse us of the heat

You beg, you plead,

You promise not to leave

You’re just like everyone

You’re just like everything

The only difference is

You listen and forgive.

Just take it all in

And I’ll take it all back.

You only need to see

Fireworks once a year.

Just take it all in

And I’ll take it all back.

Just take it all in

And I’ll take it all back.

We’re lighting fires in July

To cleanse us of the heat

You beg, you plead,

You promise not to leave

You’re just like everyone

You’re just like everything

We’re lighting fires in July

Just take it all in

And I’ll take it all back
