Firecracker Lyrics by Stephan Nance

A Troubled Piece of Fruit

2012

[Verse]
Blue-, blue-, blue-eyed scruffy fella
Helicopters buzzed against our cheeks and ears and necks and
Turned us all around in terms of color
Blushing, queasy, spinning
And irrevocably endearing
Drinking fountains, puppies, penguins, little lambs

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you dare go
Making me like you more
I hate you more and more
Every second I’m with you
Every second you’re making me like you more and more
I hate you more
I hate you more

[Chorus]
Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out in sparks and sparkles
And a minute lasts a lifetime, lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds like it should
And no matter what
It’s never long enough
But it’s still good

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
True, true, true
I would be your boyfriend if you’d be mine
But this whole situation is becoming so ridiculous
Mr. Potato Heart
Indeed it seems
You lack a few essential pieces
Would it be taboo for me
To skip-bo right past go
Play operation and connect for good
The clues to cure
This sorry state of constant aggravation?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you dare go
Pushing my love away
If you’re gonna just pick up the slack
And pull it right back
In a stupid kind of tug-of-war game
That I don’t wanna play unless I’m on your side
In which case I’ll be with you all the way

[Chorus]
Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out in sparks and sparkles
And a minute lasts a lifetime, lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds like it should
And no matter what
It’s never long enough

[Bridge]
I could go a day without you
I could go a hundred days
But I’d spread those hundred days
Out over a century
If that’s okay with you
Sometimes I get the feeling
I’m just on display
Like some little punk’s been
Pressing against me
Setting me off for a pyrotechnicolorful

[Refrain]
Don’t you dare go
Don’t you dare go
Don’t you dare go
Don’t you dare go
Don’t you dare go
Don’t you dare go
Setting me off and running away
When I’ve got something
I still want to say
Again

[Chorus]
Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out in sparks and sparkles
And a minute lasts a lifetime, lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds like it should
And no matter what
It’s never long enough

[Outro]
And no matter what
It’s never long enough
But it’s still
So
Oh
Oh
Oh-oh-oh
Good
