You're a firework

I know this is originally by Katy Perry, but Boyce Avenue holds the key to my heart. My dear friend posted this to my Facebook wall last night after I went to her room in tears because life just hit me hard. Graduating is so scary, I'm horrified to leave my wonderful home I have made here in Flagstaff! Don't get me wrong I am very excited for Lubbock and all the future holds, I'm just mortified as well!


 
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July


'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
You're gonna leave 'em all in aw-aw-awe
...oh, you're gonna leave 'em all in aw-aw-awe


You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe there's reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know


You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July...


'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
You're gonna leave 'em all in aw-aw-awe


So don't let 'em take your life for granted
Your the only one who needs to rule your world
When life leaves you feeling empty handed
Light it up and show 'em what your worth



'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh-oh-oh
You're gonna leave 'em all in aw-aw-awe

oh, your gonna leave 'em all in awe
Cause baby your a firework...!
