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

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 conversational, choruses open with layered harmonies and a gentle lift in the low end. Bridge strips to solo voice and guitar, then builds back with airy harmonies for a cathartic final hook.
