(You and I were, you and I were fire. You and I were, you and I were fire. You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fire) It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire fireworks that went off too soon And I miss you in the June gloom too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know Where the bridges I have burned never really led home On the fourth of July I’ll be as honest as you let me I miss your early morning company If you get me You are my favorite "what if" You are my best "I’ll never know" Oh, I’m starting to forget Just what summer ever meant to you What did it ever mean to you? Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa In between being young and being right You were my Versailles at night It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I miss you in the June gloom too It was the fourth of July You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know Where the bridges I have burned never really led home On the fourth of July My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars Again and again 'til I’m stuck in your head Head my downward spiral, never mind I'll be drowned And I’m the holy water you have been without And all my thoughts of you They could heat or cool the room And now don’t tell me you’re fine Oh, honey, you don’t have to lie Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa In between being young and being right You were my Versailles at night It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I'll miss you in the June gloom too It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know Where the bridges I have burned never really led home On the fourth of July I wish I’d known how much you loved me, hmm I wish I cared enough to know, um, hmm I’m sorry every song’s about you The torture of small talk with someone you used to love It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire, fireworks That went off too soon And I'll miss you in the June gloom too It was the fourth of July You and I were you and I were fire, fire, fireworks I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know Where the bridges I have burned never really led home On the fourth of July
