4th of July

[Instrumental Intro]

(Ooh)

(Ahhh)

(Mmm)

[Verse 1]

Sitting at the edge of the deep end

Chlorine soaking in my red hair

You're inside talking to your boyfriend

Acting like I'm not even out here

I bought this cheap flag bikini just for you

Now I'm shivering and turning blue

[Pre-Chorus]

The neighbors are shooting off bottle rockets

I've got a damp lighter in my denim pockets

Trying to light a sparkler in the dark

While you're inside breaking my fucking heart

[Chorus]

It's the Fourth of July

And I'm crying by the pool

Yeah it's the Fourth of July

And I look like a total fool

You're lighting up the sky for somebody else

And I'm just playing with the matches by myself

Yeah I'm playing with the matches by myself

[Verse 2]

The mosquito bites are itching on my thighs

Smell of cheap beer and sulfur in the air

I can see the kitchen light in your eyes

When you look out the window and pretend I'm not there

It's so pathetic how long I'm willing to wait

For a girl who's never gonna take the bait

[Pre-Chorus]

The neighbors are shooting off bottle rockets

I've got a damp lighter in my denim pockets

Trying to light a sparkler in the dark

While you're inside breaking my fucking heart

[Chorus]

It's the Fourth of July

And I'm crying by the pool

Yeah it's the Fourth of July

And I look like a total fool

You're lighting up the sky for somebody else

And I'm just playing with the matches by myself

Yeah I'm playing with the matches by myself

[Bridge]

(Oh!)

I want to push him in the water

I want to cause a goddamn scene

You're treating me like an afterthought

When you know exactly what I mean

Come out here and kiss me

Underneath the Roman candles

Give me something he can't handle

[Guitar Solo]

(Yeah!)

[Chorus]

Cause it's the Fourth of July

And I'm crying by the pool

Yeah it's the Fourth of July

And I look like a total fool

You're lighting up the sky for somebody else

And I'm just playing with the matches by myself

[Outro]

Just playing with the matches

In my flag bikini

You don't even see me

Happy Fourth of July

(Ooh)
