the wheels of a firecracker
spin independently about her
she is way up in the air
on my trampoline, her hair
is flying all around her head
like when she's lying in her bed
and when her feet come back down
she's up again and off the ground
how could anyone believe me
my eyes once again deceive me
fireflies form a crowd
like my life's been thought aloud
if it all comes down to this
all contained inside a kiss
i need to watch her unfold
tonight before we get old
summer's here and then it's gone
the stars spread above the lawn
how could anyone believe me
my eyes once again deceive me
years from now we'll need this
the memory of something perfect
color me so i won't forget
