I thought we could spend the night outside,
Alone, cut the world behind.
The fireworks burst,
My eyes even hurt
But I couldn’t go inside.

Your hand would grip mine,
You would make me safe.
And your heart beat would race,
Against my best time.

And I thought we could spend the night outside,
On a trampoline so wide.
The stars would trance,
We could dance,
And in our souls confide.

Your feet would move with mine.
And I’d stumble along,
As you sang your song,
And it’d be a magical time.

But I don’t know what I’m thinking,
I guess I am insane.
I thought I could spend the night with you,
And wait for the falling rain.
And yet at home I must be,
By five, mostly four but sometimes three.
I grab you close and you tell me,
It’s time to leave,

And every time I as I walk away,
The second I turn my back,
I cry.
I guess that is our rain,
Until the fireworks jump in our hearts again.
