I’ve been barefoot all summer 
Grass stained knees from chasing after you 
Warm breeze, ash on the ground 

Love so quick, watch it fade 
Forget all about me 
As new lights illuminate your dark sky 

It’s exciting, isn’t it? 
It was so exciting when I was still bright 
So exciting to light me up 
And blow out my flame 

You left me there, used up 
Useless to you now 
Dew-stained and formerly pretty 
I was alight, a few minutes ago
