Fireworks Lyrics - Alicia Keys

Money just changed everything, I wonder how life without it would go? 

From the concrete, who knew that a flower would grow? 

Lookin' down from the top and it's crowded below 

My fifteen minutes started an hour ago 

Truth over fame, you know I respect the blatant shit 

When I hear talkin', I just don't know what to make of it 

Hate is so familiar to me, I'm slowly embracin' it 

Doesn't come natural, bear with me, it could take a bit 

Yeah, and my dreams are who I'm racing with 

As you can see I'm pacin' it so that I'm always chasin' it 

Wayne put me right here, that's who I get the paper with 

I hope that my success never alters our relationship 

Yeah, this life is something I would die for 

October's on but it's lookin' like July four 

I just wish they'd let you try it first 

This time I'm really goin' off, fireworks

Oh, today it begins 

I've missed them before 

But won't miss them again 

I keep having the same dream 

And I think I just realized what it means 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Every night is fireworks, every night is fireworks 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Taking off like fireworks, taking off like 

I'm just such a gentleman, you should give it up for me 

Look at how I'm placing all my napkins and my cutlery 

I could tell it wasn't love, I just thought you fuck with me 

Who coulda predicted lucky strike would have you stuck with me 

Damn, I kept my wits about me, luckily 

What happened between us that night, it always seems to trouble me 

Now all of a sudden, these gossip rags wanna cover me 

And you making it seem that it happened that way because of me 

But I was curious 

And I'll never forget it, baby, what an experience 

You coulda been the one but it wasn't that serious 

There was smoke in the air before that was me clearing it 

That felt good, all and all I learned a lesson from it, though 

You never see it coming you just get to see it go 

Yeah, I shoulda looked up in the sky at first 

Now I see it in her eyes, fireworks 

Oh, today it begins 

I've missed them before 

But won't miss them again 

I keep having the same dream 

And I think I just realized what it means 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Every night is fireworks, every night is fireworks 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Taking off like fireworks, taking off like 

Everything the same but it feels different 

My dad called me up knowing that I still listen 

And he's still got his foot out, guilt trippin' 

It's been years though, I just learn to deal with it 

For real, me and my realtor, we built up a better rapport 

Got my mother in a place with some better decor 

She searched the entire city, I let her explore 

And now she sayin' she more lonely than ever before 

How many of our parents' marriages lasted? 

I was only 5, I bet I barely reacted 

I'm flying back home for the Heritage Classic 

Searching for that feeling, tell me, where is the magic? 

Let's stay together 'til we're ghosts 

I wanna witness love, I never seen it close 

Yeah, but I guess I gotta find it first 

That's why I'm really going off, fireworks 

Oh, today it begins 

I've missed them before 

But won't miss them again 

I keep having the same dream 

And I think I just realized what it means 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Every night is fireworks, every night is fireworks 

All I see is fireworks, all I see is fireworks 

Taking off like fireworks, taking off like
