Phantom Fireworks

I will fall for your lies
When you tell them twice
Like the five small words that you always say
That you honestly needed to change
Did you sleep alright through the lightning storm?
Should I close the blinds?
Should I lock the door?
Because you honestly needed to change
When you burned your hands on the sparklers
That you had stolen from phantom firework stands
Oh how you honestly needed to change
Will someone carry me across 10,000 miles under the silence
The silence was getting too loud
(I really can’t make out what Matt is saying here at all. If you can, please help me out)

Die
I wake up, it’s all gone
(your characteristic seemed alright)
I wish I had stayed at home
(you’re so disappointed every time)
At home here, I need you to tell me all the wrong I’ve done
I wish you’d believe me, I’m alright in my life
(the backyard is empty when you’re gone)
I see you way out there
You’re standing on a lonely road
(Suppose that I said that I had lied just when you said that you were)
Die right now
I want to die right now
She wakes up and then leaves
(Your characteristic staircase smile)
He’s coming; and not naive
Remember who your friends are
(You’re so disappointed when you try)
But don’t forget the ones you love
Promise I’ll make it in that hip-hop video
(the bad words are endless when you call)
I see you way out there
You’re standing on a lonely road
(suppose I had said that I had lied, just when you said that you were)
Die right now
I never asked to be here



Blue Champagne Glass
You had a dream she was a dancer
Some kind of New York dancer that was a light sleeper
We ---- disaster
Anyone can ask and get all the same answers
A blue champagne glass that I thought was plastic
Now all of the warnings and all of the signs
I tried hard to hide this and tried to be kind
I tried not to smile and I tried not to laugh
When I broke your favorite blue champagne glass
Might’ve been some dancing but not New York dancing
This was not romantic, this was never planned
Anyone can ask and get all the same answers
A blue champagne glass that I thought was plastic…
Now I forever will be a heartbreaker, breaking your things
Now I never will be how you remembered it being
Now all of my love to you…
