There's something about the 4th of July
The way that the fireworks light up the sky
It reminds me of home, a cosmic rush
In awe of the beauty and all that it was
Shades of red, shades of blue
I saw every color of you
In the distance, I heard sirens but I didn't care
I was too busy staring at the fireworks
Laying out on the lawn, backyard barbeque
Screaming at your mom cause she just wants to talk to you
Burned by the embers that fell to the ground
Everything that goes up must come down
Shades of red, shades of blue
I saw every color of you
In the distance, I heard sirens but I didn't care
I was too busy staring at the fireworks
Captivated by the light, didn't see the warning signs
Guess that everyone is right
Love is blinding
Colors so appealing, staring at the ceiling,
The night is so revealing
You were just a feeling
Shades of red, shades of blue
I saw every color of you
In the distance, I heard sirens but I didn't care
I was too busy staring at the fireworks
I'm glad I looked away from the fireworks
