[Verse 1] Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Dusty box at the corner stand Clerk says “They’re last year’s leftovers” I say “Perfect That’s what I am” We light one in an empty parking lot It fizzles more than it flies You laugh so hard you drop your soda Red stains on your white shoelace ties [Chorus] Nothing special Nothing planned Just burned fingers and plastic bags Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Bright for a second Gone by Wednesday If this is all we ever get Cheap explosions and a little mess Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Still feel like headlines to me [Verse 2] Car stereo stuck on one station Static and a summer ballgame We guess the score Both guessing wrong But cheering like it’s something great You say “Think we’ll ever be fancy?” I say “I’d miss nights like these” You flick ash in a cracked soda can Spark jumps Lands on your jeans [Chorus] Nothing special Nothing planned Just burned fingers and plastic bags Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Bright for a second Gone by Wednesday If this is all we ever get Cheap explosions and a little mess Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Still feel like headlines to me [Bridge] Maybe we’ll move Maybe we’ll stay Maybe we’ll trade up For a better display But I’ll keep a match In my jacket sleeve For any small chance You’ll light one with me [Chorus] Nothing special Nothing planned Just burned fingers and plastic bags Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Bright for a second Gone by Wednesday If this is all we ever get Cheap explosions and a little mess Half price fireworks on a Tuesday Still feel like headlines to me
