Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said
"Text you tomorrow"
I still keep that on my phone
Three summers gone
I scroll it anyway
Fourth of July in the suburbs
Everyone laying out their chairs
You were behind the bus stop
Slipping away
[Chorus]
Fireworks for Luke
They painted up the sky
While you were in the shadows
Breathing your last quiet sigh
I thought the thunder was laughter
I thought you’d walk through the door
Fireworks for Luke
And you on the forest floor
[Verse 2]
Mom still sets one plate extra
Catches herself
Then turns away
Says she’s fine
Then wipes her hands too long
I drive past that old bus stop
Can’t look left at all those trees
Swear I feel you there when the nights get strong
[Chorus]
Fireworks for Luke
They painted up the sky
While you were in the shadows
Breathing your last quiet sigh
I thought the thunder was laughter
I thought you’d text me
"I’m good"
Fireworks for Luke
And you
Still in those woods
[Bridge]
If I could drag time backward (hey)
Take that pill from your hand
I’d sit beside that bus stop
Stay ‘til the morning began
But all I hold is your sweatshirt
And the smell is almost gone
I light a sparkler for you
And pretend you’re singing along (oh Luke)
[Chorus]
Fireworks for Luke
They painted up the sky
I whisper to the darkness
"Why him and not I?"
Every burst
Every color
Is a name I once knew
Fireworks for Luke
’til the night burns down to you
Style
intimate acoustic ballad led by female vocals and fingerpicked guitar; soft piano doubles the topline in the chorus. subtle pad swells and distant reversed cymbals for a ghostly shimmer. verses stay close and conversationalchoruses open with layered harmonies and a gentle lift in the low end. bridge strips to solo voice and guitarthen builds back with airy harmonies for a cathartic final hook.
Prompt
This song will be about my brother Luke, who died three years ago from fentanyl he died on the Fourth of July. He was fine behind the bus stop in the woods dead have it sung by a female and make it be
