Firecracker Songtext
von Plasma Canvas

He says you′re such a firecracker
That's just ′cause he can't take the flame
Now here comes another boy to dance in your fire
It's like I′m watching through a two-way mirror pane

You don′t have to know what you want to know that you're wanted
By every two-bit boy with a halfway decent smile
It′s how the fairy tales go, the boy gets the girl
Then it's "happily ever after" for a while

But I can see it, something ain′t sitting right
And I can feel it when you look in my eyes
Is there something in my drink, or am I flying?

He says you're such a firecracker
That′s just 'cause he can't take the flame
And here comes another boy to dance in your fire
It′s like I′m watching through a two-way mirror pane

I'll take another drag while he tries all his favorite lines
Gonna ride this out, ′cause all I've got is time
And later, when you spill your guts, I′ll remember tomorrow
But I'll fall asleep still wishing you were mine


Is there something in these stolen glances?
Waiting for a break from all this madness
You never know where you′re going, but I'll follow
(If you want me to)

He says you're such a firecracker
That′s just ′cause he can't take the flame
And here comes another boy to dance in your fire
It′s like I'm watching through a two-way mirror pane

We said it, and I′m proud of us
I don't regret it, and my hopes ain′t up
I just can't shut up when my heart's beating this loud
It′s in the open, it′s a big "now what?"
But don't sweat it, ′cause I don't know what I want
But I′d love you in all the ways a girl can love
(But not a boy)

He says you're such a firecracker
That′s just 'cause he can't take the flame
Now here comes another boy to dance in your fire
It′s like I′m watching through a two-way mirror pane
It's like I′m watching through a two-way mirror pane
