Fireworks Night

Lyrics

All the mistakes that I have made
 ♪
 All the things I should have seen but I looked away
 ♪
 All the things we should have shared but kept to ourselves
 ♪
 All the things that we shared we should have kept to ourselves
 ♪
 And I guess it's the modern way
 The phone call that comes flying out of a blue autumn day
 And suddenly everything goes sow and quiet
 Everyone seems to be alone with their own thoughts
 And now it's as if I'm standing beneath a torrent of falling water
 Feeling things I don't want to feel
 Remembering things I don't want to remember
 And we said what we said
 And we made what we made
 And so I say the things I have learned to say
 ♪
 Thankful for words that can be used
 Remember how we were both like waves not able to break
 ♪
 Rolling and turning and turning and rolling
 But still not able to break
 And I'm numb
 I'm numb like when you've been driving so fast for so long
 That it feels as if you're hardly moving at all
 My body rigid with tension
 My soul all nothing but wound up like a twisted tree
 The way we used to be when we sang of passion
 And justice and faith was easy
 And celebrated in a ritual of swirling smoke
 Arms all raised up towards the lights
 And we said what we said
 But we made what we made
 Yes, we said what we said
 But we made what we made
 And so by now you'll be further on that I ever went
 And is it still painless?
 Do you get to float and look down and do all of that?
 Tonight would be as good a night as any
 You'll see the city alive like a great resting animal
 Lying in the lea of the hills and the moorland
 And breathing little patterns of fire
 Out into the cold dark coming of winter
 And I'm warming my back against the heat of a bonfire
 Like the ones you so loved to build
 And I'm thinking about it all
 And I'm sorry and I'm not sorry
 Our time was made up of confused emotions
 And little whirlwinds and all that stuff we couldn't really talk about
 But most of all it was sealed in sacred moments like these
 And then it was gone
