Lyrics of July

Explosions pillaging the night
From the fireworks on the fourth of july
It's just my lady, our friends, and i
Smoking cigars and yelling at cars as they drive by
We scaled a ladder ascending to the roof
While five years ago i weeped and no one knew
Holding my guitar, i strummed a tune
I sang "i love you but i have to cut you loose"
As the neighbor lights off the small bombs we watch
From the rooftop... safely, so safely
If i had never let go, then only god knows where i would be know
I made a bridge between us then i slowly burned it
Five years ago, in my backyard i sang love away
Little did i know that real love had not quite yet found me
