Dan and Sarah and I got together for a write and we started throwing hooks around. I had this idea, 5th of July, about the feeling of the day after a romance falls apart and this is the song we wrote to that idea.

We were searching for freedom
Bent on believing
We found it in each other arms
Sparkling and spinning,
Lit up and living
With gun powder love in our hearts
Chorus:
He was kissing me, wanting me; fireworks and flames
Holding me, telling me beautiful things
Set the world on fire, till we burned out the sky,
When the smoke cleared, there were tears in my eyes
I felt just like the fifth of July
I felt just like the fifth of July
We ran out of matches
There’s nothing but ashes
We fell like stars to the ground
Though we’re just embers
I’ll always remember
How high we were before we came down
Chorus:
He was kissing me, wanting me; fireworks and flames
Holding me, telling me beautiful things
Set the world on fire, till we burned out the sky,
When the smoke cleared, there were tears in my eyes
I felt just like the fifth of July
I felt just like the fifth of July
Now I’m missing him and wanting those fireworks and flames
Still hear him telling me beautiful things
I’ve got no regrets, no, I won’t forget
Nothing lasts forever when it burns so bright
And when the smoke cleared from the dark empty sky
I felt just like the fifth of July
I felt just like the fifth of July
