July Lyrics - The Year Of Hibernation - Youth Lagoon

Explosions pillaging the night 

From the fireworks on the fourth of July 

It's just my lady, our friends, and I 

Smoking cigars and yelling at cars as they drive by 

We scaled a ladder ascending to the roof 

While five years ago I weeped and no one knew 

Holding my guitar, I strummed a tune 

I sang "I love you but I have to cut you loose" 

As the neighbor lights off the small bombs we watch 

from the rooftop... safely, so safely 

If I had never let go, then only God knows where I would be know 

I made a bridge between us then I slowly burned it 

Five years ago, in my backyard I sang love away 

Little did I know that real love had not quite yet found me
