Firecracker Lyrics by Nada Surf

The Proximity Effect

1998

[Verse 1]
This time
The win is mine
My perfect life, my perfect life
Room spin
Don't know how to stop
Don't know how to stop
Don't know how to start

[Pre-Chorus]
Firecracker
The one you keep inside
Firecracker
You don't know how to light

[Verse 2]
So sink
In the tailspin
Of plans and sleep, of plans and sleep
Or come, and crush me tight
My favourite high, my favourite high!
Or come, and crush me tight
My favourite high, my favourite high!

[Chorus]
Firecracker
The one you keep inside
Firecracker
You don't know how to light

[Verse 3]
Here comes the film
PG 13! PG 13! PG 13!
Crack down
No net, no cage
No first mistake. no first mistake

[Chorus]
Firecracker
The one you keep inside
Firecracker
You don't know how to light
Firecracker
The one you keep inside
Firecracker
You don't know how to light
