Fireworks - The Hotbed of Life lyrics

I was a shy, i was a shy child holding
Onto my father's legs my face turning
My face turning red every time my world got
Turned right upside down
I found a nickel plated coin in my pocket
Oh the floor held me after I stuck it in
A socket like it knew I was a child

Doors are meant to close behind you
But I don't wanna
Just like the rug in my bedroom growing up
That would stop the door when I
Tried to slam it shut
When I tried to slam it shut-ut-ut

Oh oh oh o-o-o oh, oooooh, ooohoh


I used to hang grocery bags up and down
Up and down my arms to impress my mom
Now I use them to carry boxes
Out of my dead dad's house
So I started writing songs about this girl
But now that girl, she's somebody's wife

Just like the rug in my bedroom growing up
That would stop the door when I
Tried to slam it shut
When I tried to slam it shut-ut-ut

Height marks on the door frame
From when a year brought welcomed change
Now it all just feels the same oh oh oh
O-o-o oh, oooooh, ooohoh


Just like the rug in my bedroom growing up
That would stop the door when I
Tried to slam it shut
Just like the rug in my bedroom growing up
That would stop the door when I
Tried to slam it shut
When I tried to slam it shut-ut-ut

Oh oh oh o-o-o oh, oooooh, ooohoh
