you remind me of a firework, boy

you touch the ceiling, you touch the floor

you sparkle and burn but you take your time

and I bet I could carry you across state lines



i'd tell you why, but i don't know

it's simple and so complicated

i could walk all day on the railroad track 

but there's much more to it than that



you know all of my secret ideas

the ones I'm giving up on and the ones I'll keep

and everybody sees a funny look in our eyes

'cause we know that we already won the sweepstakes prize



i'd tell you why, but i don't know

it's simple and so complicated

i could walk all day on the railroad track 

but there's much more to it than that



i ask you if you ever think that maybe

it's what's inside of us that drives us crazy

fingers feeling underneath your skin

there's blood and bones and some rivers to fall in



i'd tell you why, but i don't know

it's simple and so complicated

i could walk all day on the railroad track 

but there's much more to it than that



i'm so lucky because i asked you once

"what are you doing? do you wanna come up

for a cup of tea? come visit with me

we'll play guitars and I'll give you my number"



i'd tell you why, but i don't know

it's simple and so complicated

i could walk all day on the railroad track 

but there's much more to it than that



i'd tell you why, but i don't know

it's simple and so complicated

i could walk all day on the railroad track 

but there's much more to it than that
