Chinese Lanterns Lyrics

Well I turned out my pockets at the end of the night
Still had some money I was doing alright
But I know
I heard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden
Chinese lanterns set free on the rise
But I knew
Love don't wait around for youI took one for the team but I never played the same
They wrote my story and they asked for my name
But I knew
And I learned how to lie how to make believe
I tried for hours to pull you out of my sleeve
But I knew
Love don't wait around for you to catch on
Try to work it out you won't before it's gone
Life don't always go the way you want it to
And I can't wait around for youAll the guests at my table were folks I didn't know
I sang for hours yeah I put on a show
But I knew

Then I saw you one time you just turned and ran
I danced cartwheels around you and I walked on my hands
But I knewLove don't wait around for you to catch on
Try to work it out you won't before it's gone
Life don't always go the way you want it to
And I can't wait aroundHeard the fireworks cracking and the sky was golden
Chinese lanterns set free on the rise
But I knew
Love don't wait around for you to catch on
Try to work it out you won't before it's gone
Life don't always go the way you want it to
And I can't wait around for you
