Independence Day

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
