Independence Day Lyrics

on the 4th of july

we sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks

explode in the sky

and there was an exodus of birds from the trees

but they didnt know, we were only pretending

and the people all looked up, and were pleased

and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending

and i don't think war is noble

and i don't like to think that love is like war

and i gotta big hot cherry bomb, and i want to slip it through the mail slot

of your front door

don't leave me here

i've got your back now

you'd better have mine

cause you say the coast is clear

but you say that all the time

so many sheep i quit counting

sleepless and embarrassed about the way that i feel

trying to make mole hills out of mountains

building base camp at the bottom of a really big deal

and did i tell you how i stopped eating?

when you stopped calling me

and i was cramped up shitting rivers for weeks

and pretending that i was finally free

don't leave me here

now that your back

you'd better stay this time

cause you say the coast is clear

but you say that all the time

we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp,

on the 4th of july

and i planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood,

and looked up at the sky
