SUMMER
Fireworks Lyrics

Borrowed
I feel like this year has taken a lot out of me, leaving me feeling depleted and tired.

I think this year has left me borrowed
I feel like this year has taken a lot out of me, leaving me feeling depleted and tired.

Tomorrow I'm waking up the sun
I'm starting fresh tomorrow and am going to make the most of each day, enjoying the sunshine and warmth.

I'm dragging the lake slow
I'm taking my time and reflecting on my memories, drawing out each moment and emotion.

Follow this life line of memories
I'm tracing back through my past experiences, trying to understand how they've shaped me into who I am today.

Tangled by the water side
My memories are intertwined and complicated, reminiscent of a dense thicket of plants found near the water's edge.

That's where my youth drowned
It feels like my youthful carelessness and energy slipped away from me, much like something getting lost or disappearing underwater.

It fell by the wayside
My youth and its accompanying experiences lost their significance and drifted away, not seeming to hold much value anymore.

I'm not counting the greys on my head
I'm not fixating on my physical aging or the things that I'm losing with time passing.

I'm calling them silver linings instead
I'm trying to see the positive in growing older and am looking at it as a new opportunity to gain experience and perspective.

It doesn't matter
Despite everything that's going on, in the grand scheme of things, what we do each day isn't of great importance.

We take off our shoes and pull out pieces of the lawn
We're enjoying the simple pleasures in life, taking off our shoes and feeling the grass with our toes.

While people light off fireworks
In the background, people are celebrating and having fun, possibly without any care in the world.

Then they set off car alarms
Their celebration and excitement actually has an impact on the rest of the world, even if it's just a minor inconvenience like a car alarm going off.

You will always be the leaf to my tree
You'll always be a supportive and integral part of my life, much like how a leaf is essential to the tree it grows from.

But this year fall came
This year has been marked by decay and things ending, much like how fall signals the end of summer and the beginning of a new season.

And I never saw spring
I didn't get a chance to start fresh and rejuvenate, as spring often symbolizes.

I'll keep my wisdom like a tooth
I'll hold onto the lessons I've learned and wisdom I've gained, not letting them be lost or forgotten.

I'm spinning in the black hole of youth
I'm feeling lost and overwhelmed by the many experiences and emotions of youth, sometimes struggling to find my way out.

My mind is trained to
I've become accustomed to thinking and feeling a certain way, shaped by my past experiences and beliefs.

I want to find dead bodies with my closest friends
I'm seeking out intense and shared experiences with those closest to me, even if they're macabre or unconventional.

And to long for DC at two AM under Lincoln
I yearn for a specific place, time, and person, with a sense of longing, desire, or nostalgia.

Let's stay close like the monuments
Let's stick together and stay loyal and true, like how monuments represent ideas or people that have stood the test of time.

Carve our names in stone
Let's make our mark on the world and leave a lasting legacy, much like how names on a monument are immortalized in stone.

Let's stay close like the monuments
Let's stick together and stay loyal and true, like how monuments represent ideas or people that have stood the test of time.

Carve our names in stone
Let's make our mark on the world and leave a lasting legacy, much like how names on a monument are immortalized in stone.
