Skylar Stecker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i'm losing all control
i'm seeing stars of gold
time moving way to slow
don't know which way to go
i'm aiming for the sky
take of and watch me fly
i'm gonna burn so bright
10, 000 fireflies
ricochet, it's to late
i'm floating up, into space
i'm falling fast with no trace
the sky lights up with my name
hey
ima ima firecracker
bang bang
ima ima firecracker
bang bang
ima ima firecracker
bang bang
b-b--bang bang
when i do my dang thing
oh you know i'm ready
lets go
and i'm about to explode
like a firecracker
b-b-gang bang
when i do my dang thing
i'm bout to turn it up
hot way to hot to touch
this might be dangerous
cus i'm a little bit to much
fall time a shooting star
aiming right at your heart
i know right where you are
can't hide behind the dark
ricochet, it's to late
i'm floating up, into space
i'm falling fast with no trace
the sky lights up with my name
hey
