| So quiet 'round here this morning
|
| I guess everyone got away for the weekend
|
| I wish that I was one of those
|
| Packing up my summer clothes
|
| Heading down to the sea to watch the stars
|
| I barely remember the fight last night
|
| I had once last chance that I just threw away
|
| I wish to God I’d just said no
|
| 'Cause by now, you never know
|
| I got my wish on Independence Day
|
| It’s red, white, and blue
|
| Staring at me staring at you
|
| And I’m red-eyed and blue
|
| Thinking about him thinking about you
|
| If I can stay awake until the sunset
|
| I hear the fireworks are quite a sight
|
| I’ll drink a few icy beers
|
| Even though that’s what got me here
|
| And promise to become a better man
|
| And I know you must be hurting
|
| Stuck between a rock and a hard place
|
| I wish I’d never let you go
|
| And I probably shouldn’t tell you so
|
| But I got my wish on Independence Day
|
| That red, white, and blue
|
| Staring at me staring at you
|
| And I’m red-eyed and blue
|
| Thinking about him thinking about you
|
| And I spent hours just waiting
|
| The sky turned from blue to red to black
|
| And I never felt this much alone
|
| As I hear those far-off bombs explode
|
| And hope all night that you might call me back
|
| And just like that, it was over
|
| Life goes on despite the blood and tears
|
| No way of getting back
|
| Just need to face the facts
|
| That you gave up on Independence Day
|
| You gave up on Independence Day
|
| That red, white, and blue
|
| Staring at me staring at you
|
| And I’m red-eyed and blue
|
| Thinking about him thinking about you
|
| Thinking about him looking at you |
