Lyrics
Hey you firecracker
Where?s your spark
I can see the pavement
Where you left your mark for them
Never for me
I?m thinkin? I?m to blame
I fumble the fuse
Nothing happens again...
You?re so uninspired again
I'm left here on fire again
I guess you?re just tired again
Hey you firecracker
When you spark
You fill the sky
And fall down dark again
I need a fuse
You need a flame I thought
It could be me
I guess I forgot again
You?re so uninspired again
I'm left here on fire again
I guess you?re just tired again
When you?re dreaming all aglow
It seems wondrous where you go
I am the rocket
You?ve never flown
I keep shooting the sky alone
Hey you firecracker
Where?s your spark
Why don?t you take off
Like you took it off for them
Never for me
Shouldn?t I be the same
I?m holding the fuse
You?re drifting off again
You?re so uninspired again
I'm left here on fire again
I guess you?re just tired again
Left here on fire again
You?re so uninspired again
Left here on fire again
I?m sure you?re just tired again
I keep shooting the sky alone
