Sparklers
Lyrics
Summer dusk, the yard's gone purple
Bare feet flying through the grass
Light one off another's fire
Nothing here was built to last
And that's fine, that's half the magic
Sixty seconds burning bright
Spelling out our names in gold and
Laughing at the falling night
There's no saving what we're spelling
There's no bottling the glow
So we spin until we're dizzy
Scribbling comets fast and low
Write your name
In the air
Write your name
Everywhere
Gold trail
Fading fast
Go
Go
Go before it's past
I'm the biggest kid out dancing
Grown man going on nine
And my daughter draws a circle
Dad, stand inside the light
Write your name
In the air
Write your name
Everywhere
Gold trail
Fading fast
Go
Go
Go before it's past
Hold still
Light another
Write your name
In the air
Write your name
I don't care
Gold trail
Fading fast
Go
Go
Go, nothing has to last
Sixty seconds, gone forever
Burned so bright it stayed behind
