Chinese Lanterns Lyrics - The Temperance Movement - The Temperance Movement

Well I turned out my pockets at the end of the night 

Still had some money I was doing alright 

But I know 

I heard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden 

Chinese lanterns set free on the rise 

But I knew 

Love don't wait around for you 

I took one for the team but I never played the same 

They wrote my story and they asked for my name 

But I knew 

And I learned how to lie how to make believe 

I tried for hours to pull you out of my sleeve 

But I knew

Love don't wait around for you to catch on 

Try to work it out you won't before it's gone 

Life don't always go the way you want it to 

And I can't wait around for you 

All the guests at my table were folks I didn't know 

I sang for hours yeah I put on a show 

But I knew 

Then I saw you one time you just turned and ran 

I danced cartwheels around you and I walked on my hands 

But I knew 

Love don't wait around for you to catch on 

Try to work it out you won't before it's gone 

Life don't always go the way you want it to 

And I can't wait around 

Heard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden 

Chinese lanterns set free on the rise 

But I knew
