Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You play the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?

First you lose trust
Then you get worried

Night after night, bar after club
Dropping like flies, who woke you up
On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?

First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry

Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first

First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry

There comes a time in a short life
Turn it around, get a rewrite
Call it a dark night of the soul
Ticking of clocks, gravity's pull

First you get close
Then you get worried

Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first

First you get hurt
Then you feel sorry

You're going silent, the silent treatment
It's not inviting now, don't deny
What you meant

You get excited, you get excited
You got to feel it, oh
At least you can pretend

You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends

You get excited, you get excited

Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first

Flying like a cannonball
Falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather
When you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve
To wait around forever
When you were there first

First you get close
Then you get worried

First you get close
Then you get worried

(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)

First you get close
Then you get worried

(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)

First you get close
Then you get worried

(You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends)

You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends

You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends

I'm going to stay on my bed...
Until it's the 4th of July.
