[Intro: Patrick Stump & RoyalFluss]
You and I were (Just a dream), you and I were fire (yeah)
You and I were (Meant to be), you and I were fire (Right)
You and I were (Everything), you and I were fire (uh), fire (uh), fire
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned
Light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Verse 1: RoyalFluss]
It's been a while now I swear I was done with you
Five months and counting wow, been that long but still I knew
One day I'd give in, and pick up my phone and text you
Like always, although you showed me why not to, because
You have him- a conflict;
A choice I said I'd respect, bitter pill but then I'd reflect
His shoes I would take a step, to see how it would have felt
To have my lady taken from me claiming no good excuse;
So then I laid back, man it hurt me, but there was nothing to lose;
But then I'd give in and call, I knew you wouldn't respond
Surprised you'd pick up, we'd talk, and then we'd go down that road
Confirmed emotions had mutuality; you would be mine
Going to bed at night I said,"What if we make it to the-"
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned
Light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Verse 2: RoyalFluss]
Two weeks and running, things were good, for you and I
But from my eye, still far from great
I chose this race, pick up the pace, I can't regress
I can't digress, I see her face, a show of grace
I feel amazing- she's a maze and I'm a seeker;
She has faith, I'm a believer;
Starry nights- I'd stare into her eyes
Holding hands, kiss her goodnight
Outside her room, hugging so tight
Man I wish I could prolong the moment
Or maybe I could take a moment-
To decipher by the moment
I was only for the moment;
[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump & RoyalFluss]
(Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean any of it
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa)
It's my fault to think, you would fall for me
So every night I think, what if we made it to the-
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
Fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned
Light my way back home on the fourth of July
[Bridge: Patrick Stump & RoyalFluss]
I wish I'd known how much you loved me (I wish I knew)
I wish I cared enough to know (ha-ha, yeah)
I'm sorry every song's about you (You know who you are)
The torture of small talk with someone you used to love
(Yo Pat, When was it?)
[Chorus: Patrick stump]
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I'd never miss you
But I guess you never know
May the bridges I have burned
Light my way back home on the fourth of July
