the max levine ensemble - love, capital l lyrics

“don’t get to close” you said, “cuz this is gonna burn,”
they say “kids don’t play with fire,”
but we’re kids we never learn
and that’s how i came to see
how holden caulfield was your prophet
but the prophesy was self fulfilling and you know it

and we were so naive. yea so naive
we could have turned back and walked away
you were f-cking screaming, and i could not see
you’d given your best warning
that the ghosts that you held close had told you
“hear now what we say, the world is gonna push you down
so push the world away,”
and they said everybody knew you were a firecracker
but i found out the hard way…

the love we held on to was so caught up in our belief
that the dreams we had were stronger than the forces of defeat
but then our dreams they one by one
were swallowed by the situation
of aggravated tension, yea, and miscommunication…
though i didn’t have a clue… i found out

i woke up from a dream when i met a generation
who were terrified of love
though convinced that it could save them
when like all things consecrated it turned out to be a lie
it couldn’t save them from the thing that had grown inside…
i met a generation that had lost their only friends
to a suicidal culture that had forced them to pretend
that the fuse that grew inside wasn’t ready to ignite
but kids will play with fire and we lit up the f-cking night

i found out, i found out, i found out the hard way
i found you were a firecracker
