I swore I'd never do it Now the emperor's the fool Yeah, high school wasn't good to me And it was even worse for you It's as good as it got Some masochistic knot Before the world got real And the happiness was not And ooh-ooh-ooh Paper lanterns from the dance And ooh-ooh-ooh It only takes one more chance So grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight Remember like the Fourth of July, yeah I think I heard you found a new one In the fall of '96 Did the love end? (Yeah) Why? (No) We don't have to talk about it Playing House makes me so numb I still barely know his son Locks himself inside his room With the mirror playing dress-up with his guns And ooh-ooh-ooh That winter no one could outrun And ooh-ooh-ooh I shoulda left when I was young So grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight And remember like the Fourth of July, ooh ♪ And ooh-ooh-ooh I can feel that winter come And ooh-ooh-ooh We coulda got out while we're young Grab your coat it's kinda cold outside I'll scrape the ice off the car before we get inside We'll buy some State-line fireworks at the border tonight And remember like the Fourth of July, ooh Remember like the Fourth of July
