Like You Like an Arsonist Songtext
von Paris, Texas

And I have the same dream every night
And in the end I always wake up
Right before I cry
Out like a child in the dead of the night
Scared of thunder, scared of might
But you′re by my side
And we were both born on the Fourth of July
About fifteen minutes before midnight
My mother's bridesmaid dressed in black
And her bouquet was drenched in gas
Some tradition from her past
My father′s hands were painted red
To show that he had some success
Well, I guess
Because they were both born on the Fourth of July
About fifteen minutes before midnight
I feel like an awesomeness
Because you are my perfect match
And you light up everything around you
I feel like an awesomeness


And it's not an accident
That you light up everything around you
My mother's hair was braided black
And running clean right down her back
Cutting her white dress in half
Her ring, it sparkled ruby red
Her lipstick kissed into a mess
Well, I guess
Because they were both born on the Fourth of July
About fifteen minutes before midnight
I feel like an awesomeness
Because you are my perfect match
And you light up everything around you
I feel like an awesomeness
And it′s not an accident
That you light up everything around you
I was always under control around you
And I knew I would never get old around you
And I was always fast and so free around you
And taller than the highest of trees around you
Always got to take it up a degree around you
And there is really nothing I need around you
I just have to remember to breathe around you
And guard against all the heat
Well, around you
Well, around you
Well, around you
I feel like an awesomeness
Because you are my perfect match
And you light up everything around you
I feel like an awesomeness
And it′s not an accident
When you light up everything around you
