Lyric

I like you, and you like me

Yet it feels the same but different, can’t you see?

A spark in the hush of summer night

Dripping neon on wet streets, my pulse alight

I only crave, not love, not lust

No label fits this feverous trust

We’re glow sticks cracked open, bleeding into the dark

Do you feel these silent fireworks under my heart?

Greedy sparks fly, “Mine, mine,” they hiss

Painting streaks across the black canvas of 2 AM bliss

I play the easy-going role, smiling like lanterns’ glow

But every nod I give burns gasoline below

Look, I seem so understanding, so polite

But it’s selfish me, lit up in the night

Self-blame crackles louder than festival drums

“Don’t look away—this is who you are.”

Fireworks shine only in the dark

Wrap jealousy in sugar stars, let it spark

Set it off—BOOM—watch the night gasp

Beauty blooms from the pitch black

Somewhere beyond possessive heat

There’s a quiet ember named “us,” soft but sweet

I don’t want to know, I don’t want to see

What this feeling really means to me

Greedy sparks fly, “Mine, mine,” they hiss

Painting streaks across the midnight abyss

Yet the sky keeps asking, soft and true

“What color will you burn tonight, for you?”
