Fireworks - I Locked My Time Capsule lyrics

We were born night owls The warm air makes our eyes glow Summer makes our heads spin And the smell of hot pavement Making rain rise like spirits Holy water still freezes come winter We drink from the sprinklers The neighborhood left on And use them as metronomes For our walk home For our walk home Just do what you can to do what you love And be mindful when someone out there gives a sh** I don't know where I'm going But it's where I want to be It's where I want to be Pa**ing by this school yard There's a cavity you can't see Down at least two feet deep If it was our past inside of that box I wouldn't just bury it beneath I'd keep it locked My Nativity scene would be the people sharing this floor Instead of a cave let's head through the downstairs door Half-renovated basements make great men They make great men Just do what you can to do what you love And be mindful when someone out there gives a sh** I don't know where I'm going But it's where I want to be It's where I want to be This place holds my attention like a presidential speech But it makes my stomach turn like the college campus The first line was written on Just do what you can to do what you love And be mindful when someone out there gives a sh** I don't know where I'm going But it's where I want to be It's where I want to be It's where I want to be
