Youth Lagoon - July lyrics

rate me

Explosions pillaging the night

From the fireworks on the fourth of July

It’s just my lady, our friends, and I

Smoking cigars and yelling at cars as they drive by

We scaled a ladder ascending to the roof

While five years ago I weeped and no one knew

Holding my guitar, I strummed a tune

I sang “I love you but I have to cut you loose”

As the neighbor lights off the small bombs we watch

from the rooftop… safely, so safely

If I had never let go, then only God knows where I would be know

I made a bridge between us then I slowly burned it

Five years ago, in my backyard I sang love away

Little did I know that real love had not quite yet found me
