Independence Day - Falls

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
