Yeah
It gets cold on the fourth of July
And I'll watch fireworks inside of your eyes
If you didn't have to leave I wouldn't mind
Never fight and I don't wanna know what it's like
(I don't want to know what it's like)
It gets cold on the fourth of July (cold on the fourth of July)
And I'll watch fireworks inside of your eyes (fireworks inside of your eyes)
And if you didn't have to leave I wouldn't mind (no, I wouldn't mind)
Never fight and I don't wanna know what it's like, ay
Wrote you a letter and said I'm in love
Think I'm addicted I'm feeling the buzz
Lit up my path so now that I'm not
Stepping in puddles and falling in mud
Finally alone these nights are the best
Lay on my chest and let out the stress
Two birds in a nest, I'll pick up the sticks
Wanna grow old with you and then look back on this
Hear the stream behind where we sit
Had to leave it all to begin
I don't wanna mess this up
Too often things are temporary
Alone watching fireworks bursting
It's cold but my eyes still burning
Trying not to beat myself up
I can take it if I'm waiting for your love
It gets cold on the fourth of July
And I'll watch fireworks inside of your eyes
And if you didn't have to leave I wouldn't mind
Never fight and I don't wanna know what it's like
(I don't want to know what it's like)
It gets cold on the fourth of July (cold on the fourth of July)
And I'll watch fireworks inside of your eyes (fireworks inside of your eyes)
And if you didn't have to leave I wouldn't mind (no, I wouldn't mind)
Never fight and I don't wanna know what it's like
The journey has just begun
Beauty and tragedy
Whatever happens fall back on me (fall back on me)
Hold me like gravity (gravity)
Watching the apple tree (apple tree)
Knew that this fruit would fall
Watching it happening (I'm watching it happen)
Hear the stream behind where we sit
Had to leave it all to begin
I don't wanna mess this up
Too often things are temporary

Wrote u a letter
And said im in love
Think im addicted im feeling the buzz
Lit my path so now im not
Stepping in puddles and falling in mud
Finally alone these nights are the best
Lay on my chest and let out the stress
Two birds in a nest
Pick up the sticks
I wanna grow old with u
And then look back on this
Hear the stream behind where we sit
Had to leave it all to begin
I dont wanna mess this up
Too often things are temporary
Pre

Its cold but my eyes still burning
Trying not to beat myself up
I can take it if im waiting for your love
Chorus
It gets cold

And ill watch
fireworks inside of your eyes
If u didn’t have to leave I wouldn’t mind
Never fight and
I dont wanna know what its like

Hold me like gravity
Watching the apple tree
Knew that the fruit would fall
Watching it happening
Hear the stream behind where we sit
Had to leave it all to begin

Too often things are temporary
