South Street - There Will Be Fireworks

Stayed up late

Tried to dream ourselves awake

We've been growing up with grace

Been wondering if I should stay

Well, if you say so

Heaven knows

She's not quite who she hoped she'd be

And heaven knows I disagree

Just nod in time and don't misspeak

And all the while be wildly bored

So keep the front door closed

Keep your ears to the ground

Keep your eyes on the open road

But don't go

And since I can't forget

I want to breathe out new lungs

And cast a whole new silhouette

I want to

The sky could fall tonight for all I care

On South Street

I won't be there

After 9, met you at the station sign

Slightly drunk but quite contrite

I'm wired to the moon tonight

I'm going nowhere

Faster now

Headlong through the city streets

May Christmas lights come on for me

Make me believe in make believe

So keep the front door closed

Keep your ears to the ground

Keep your eyes on the open road

But don't go

And since I can't forget

I want to breathe out new lungs

And cast a whole new silhouette

I want to

The sky could fall tonight for all I care

On South Street

I won't be there
