Listen & Forgive

Find me again
Like a rusted bike
In your backyard
And pull me from the debris
I’m covered up in dust and leaves
We’re lighting fires in July
To cleanse us of the heat
You beg, you plead
You promise not to leave
You’re just like everyone
You’re just like everything
Smoke reaches for the stars
But settles for the glass
You tried your best
To save your best for last
But now your time has passed
Now your time has passed
(While living in your past)
We’re lighting fires in July
To cleanse us of the heat
You beg, you plead
You promise not to leave
You’re just like everyone
You’re just like everything
The only difference is
You listen and forgive
Just take it all in
And I’ll take it all back
You only need to see
Fireworks once a year
Just take it all in
And I’ll take it all back
Just take it all in
And I’ll take it all back
We’re lighting fires in July
To cleanse us of the heat
You beg, you plead
You promise not to leave
You’re just like everyone
You’re just like everything
We’re lighting fires in July
(Just take it all in
And I’ll take it all back)
We’re lighting fires in July
(Just take it all in
And I’ll take it all back)
