I could've sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night
As the lights flickered and they failed
I had it all figured out

Why do I do this to myself every time
I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one
At the finish line

I took a trip out to the frozen lake
And it felt so far away
But I could feel it washing over me
There's no escaping, the harsh light of day

Why do I do this to myself every time
I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one
At the finish line

Sit out on that beach in Chicago
Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue
Wherever I went
I always knew, always knew
Till I didn't know

Why do I do this to myself every time
I know the way it ends
Before it's even begun
I am the only one
At the finish line

I could've sworn, I saw fireworks
From your house, last night
