Clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway
Where the baptized drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
Thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Pale in the flare light
The scared light cracks and disappears
And leads the scorched ones here
And everywhere no one cares
The fire is spreading
And no one wants to speak about it
Down in the hole
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Beneath another shovel load
'Cause I heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Fourth of July, July
Now I'm in control
Now I'm in the fall out
Once asleep but now I stand
And I still remember your sweet everything
Light a roman candle
And hold it in your hand
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July
Heard it in the wind
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the fourth of July, yeah
Shower in the dark day Clean sparks diving down Cool in the waterway Where the baptized drown Naked in the cold sun Breathing life like fire Thought I was the only one But that was just a lie 'Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the fourth of July Pale in the flare light The scared light cracks and disappears And leads the scorched ones here And everywhere no one cares The fire is spreading And no one wants to speak about it Down in the hole Jesus tries to crack a smile Beneath another shovel load 'Cause I heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the fourth of July Heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the fourth of July Fourth of July, July Now I'm in control Now I'm in the fall out Once asleep but now I stand And I still remember your sweet everything Light a roman candle And hold it in your hand Heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the fourth of July Heard it in the wind And I saw it in the sky And I thought it was the end And I thought it was the fourth of July, yeah Explain Request ×
