[Verse 1]
I'm this now, a little bit different
But I guess that's what life will do
In the same town, but it's not so innocent
Growing up, but it feels too soon, it feels too soon
The pressure, my head hurts
You think it'd get better, not worse
I am this now, but I'm not so innocent
[Pre-Chorus]
And I lay here, I don't want to go to sleep alone
'Cause when I look out my window
(When I look out my window)
[Chorus]
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
Outside, it's not the same, not like it was before
I hope I heard fireworks outside of my door
[Verse 2]
When I'm walking, I get a little bit paranoid
By everyone, every noise
Let the phone ring 'cause of some shit I'm avoiding, yeah
The pressure, my head hurts
You think it'd get better, not worse
I am this now, but I'm not so innocent
[Pre-Chorus]
And I lay here, I don't want to go to sleep alone
'Cause when I look out my window
(When I look out my window)
[Chorus]
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
Outside, it's not the same, not like it was before
I hope I heard fireworks outside of my door
[Bridge]
Outside of my door, oh
My door, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I lay here, I don't want to go to sleep alone
'Cause when I look out my window
(When I look out my window)
(When I look out my window)
[Chorus]
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
I'm scared it's not fireworks anymore
Outside, it's not the same, not like it was before
I hope I heard fireworks outside of my door (My door, yeah)

It’s about a night I was at home alone and I watched a guy shoot his girlfriend in the heat of an argument, right outside my living room window. It’s also about how sinister life can get when you’re not a kid anymore.
