V3.5

[Intro - Spoken-style, intimate tone, Minimal instrumentation (ambient, soft pads)]:
"When it ends
It ends
If you're lucky
It ends in the way that it started
In the parking lot at sunset"

[Verse 1 - Lo-fi indie guitars, Layered ambient textures, Confessional delivery, minimal drums]:
"Eating some ice cream
Making fun of all the girls in my class
My accent on my lips
He says
"You talk so fast"
And the sugar on his
I don't know how to act
But I know he doesn't care"

[Pre-Chorus - Kick enters, synth strings swell, Ethereal harmonies in background]:
"I know you think you are a firework
I know you think that your name should be in lights
But have you seen a firework
When the show is over
On the Fourth of July"

[Chorus - Full band hits, Dream-pop guitar arpeggios, Tight vocal layering with ghostly echo]:
"You fly high
You shine bright
And then you die
That's your life
Oh
It's over
It's over
On the Fourth of July"

[Verse 2 - Pulls back again, 808s fade under sparse piano chords, Voice more reflective, almost slurred]:
"Oh
We talk all night
'Til we can't stay awake
'Til the daylight
And I make my mistakes
And I hate goodbyes
But I guess I'll be okay
It was the Fourth of July

[Pre-Chorus - Builds tension with harmonized vocals]:
When I first met you
And you were like
"Oh
Won't you stay the night?"
But you know
I only like you for your colors
And your colors
They won't last

[Chorus]:
You fly high
You shine bright
And then you die
That's your life
Oh
It's over
It's over
On the Fourth of July

[Bridge-Rawest emotion]:
Boom
When you leave my room
You think it's coming soon
But
Babe
You are the fool
'Cause I know what I need
You give it all to me
But you are the worst
You just aren't good enough
'Cause I'm a shooting star
And you're a dud
You're a dud
You're a dud
You're a dud
You're a dud
You're a dud
You're a dud

[Verse 3]:
Oh
We talk all night
'Til we can't stay awake
'Til the daylight
And I make my mistakes
And I hate goodbyes
But I guess I'll be okay
You said you wanted to go all night
But you're just a firework

[Pre-Chorus]:
You're not a star
You burn out fast
I know you wanted to go all night
But I never thought you'd actually make it
To the Fourth of July

[Chorus]:
You fly high
You shine bright
And then you die
That's your life
Oh
It's over
It's over
On the Fourth of July

[Verse 4]:
We were standing on the rooftop
Watching the fireworks
The wind blowing in my hair
And I'm looking at him
And I can see it in his eyes
And he's holding my hand
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
'Cause it's the first time I've ever been this happy
And I don't know if it's ever gonna happen again

[Chorus]:
And when it ends
It ends
If you're lucky
It ends in the way that it started
With the music and the bright lights
And a couple cheap drinks
Telling stories about when we were young
And the 4th of July

[Outro]:
We were falling in love
It was sweeter than wine
And he thought I was drunk
But I meant every word
And I wish he was here
'Cause that was the last 4th of July
