Sparklers

Bottle rockets and smoke bombs lying dead on the sidewalk
 Are black marks on the concrete now but they were beautiful last night
 A picture of our life, can we make this what it was?
 Everything is right, everything is wrong
 Sparklers only burn for so long
 Tightrope walking, balancing on a thin telephone line
 The wind blows and you want to call it off, the cars below keep going by
 And now you're getting tired, careful you're gonna fall
 Everything is right, everything is wrong
 Sparklers only burn for so long
 I'm a pendulum that swings trapped in the disappearing
 Of a setting sun, the moonlight at dawn
 A book of matches burning in its own reflection
 Everything is right, everything is wrong
 Letting go is the best way to hold on
 So watch the light dance in the dark until it's gone
 Sparklers only burn for so long
