I could've sworn, I saw fireworks From your house, last night As the lights flickered and they failed I had it all figured out Why do I do this to myself every time I know the way it ends Before it's even begun I am the only one At the finish line I took a trip out to the frozen lake And it felt so far away But I could feel it washing over me There's no escaping, the harsh light of day Why do I do this to myself every time I know the way it ends Before it's even begun I am the only one At the finish line Sit out on that beach in Chicago Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue Wherever I went I always knew, always knew Till I didn't know Why do I do this to myself every time I know the way it ends Before it's even begun I am the only one At the finish line I could've sworn, I saw fireworks From your house, last night
