This is what happens when you are alone with a bottle of wine and a guitar at 1:00 in the morning....
lyrics
FIRECRACKER
Nothing I’ve dreamed of for years has come to show
I’ve been pushed around like a ghost of a girl I know
Sometimes it’s a miracle that I’ve yet to blow
I’m a firecracker burning slow
I’m not safe but I’m not dangerous yet
I’m my own worst hand on my biggest bet
Everyone watches the destruction
But they stay really low
‘Cause I’m a firecracker burning slow
Oh, a firecracker burning slow
Somewhere out there is a shift in the weather
It makes us shift all of those things
That we fought for together
And the waves they threaten as they quietly grow
Like a firecracker burning slow
Oh, a firecracker burning slow
The wheel of the world keeps turning around
It’s bringing me up and dragging me down
But in these darkest times one light will glow
From that firecracker burning slow
Oh, a firecracker burning slow
