[Verse 1]
Red cup sweat
On the porch rail
Your hand in mine
Like a spark in a nail
Old speaker hum
By the screen door
We’ve been half asleep
But not anymore
You look at me
Like you know my name
Like the whole damn house
Is about to change
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve been holding back
Too long, too long
Now the sky leans in
And the night gets strong
I can hear the crowd
Far down the block
And my heart says run
When the first one pops
[Chorus]
You and I
Are coming alive tonight
On the fourth of july
Fireworks rise (fireworks rise)
You and I
Right under the open sky
Hold on tight
We’re coming alive tonight
[Verse 2]
I talk fast now
You laugh, then stare
Gonna tell the truth
If you’re still there
Been burned before
Been pulled apart
But you lit a path
Straight through my dark
Bass in the floor
Guitar in my chest
Every little fear
Gets put to rest
And when you touch me
I can’t play it cool
We don’t need forever
Just this moment will do
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve been holding back
Too long, too long
Now the sky leans in
And the night gets strong
I can hear the crowd
Far down the block
And my heart says run
When the first one pops
[Chorus]
You and I
Are coming alive tonight
On the fourth of july
Fireworks rise (fireworks rise)
You and I
Right under the open sky
Hold on tight
We’re coming alive tonight
[Bridge]
If the morning comes
Let it find our names
On the back porch steps
And the smoke still stained
I was gone too far
You brought me back
Now every bright burst
Paints the black
Come on, baby
Say it like you mean it
One more time
We can feel it
[Final Chorus]
You and I
Are coming alive tonight
On the fourth of july
Fireworks rise (fireworks rise)
You and I
Right under the open sky
Hold on tight
We’re coming alive tonight
Coming alive tonight
Coming alive tonight
On the fourth of july
