[Verse 1]
Like a firework in a beer can
We were burnin' bright those summer nights
We were king and queen in just about everything
We drive slow down on Main Street
An old pickup truck and we shined it up
Midnight blue, yeah, we were cool
Lookin' perfect together but we weren't forever

[Chorus]
Maybe we're burnin' too hot
Maybe we already lost that thing that we needed to make it last
No trouble turnin' it on
Drunk on it all summer long and then it was gone
Gone so fast in a cloud of dust
We looked like love, but love never looked like us


[Verse 2]
We light it up at sun down
Your Hollywood in a small town
Nobody had what we had
Now lookin' back, oh

[Chorus]
Maybe we're burnin' too hot
Maybe we already lost that thing that we needed to make it last
No trouble turnin' it on
Drunk on it all summer long and then it was gone
Gone so fast in a cloud of dust
We looked like love, but love never looked like us

[Bridge]
Lookin' perfect together but we weren't forever

[Chorus]
Maybe we're burnin' too hot
Maybe we already lost that thing that we needed to make it last
No trouble turnin' it on
Drunk on it all summer long and then it was gone
Gone so fast in a cloud of dust
We looked like love, but love never looked like us
