Independence Day

So quiet 'round here this morning
I guess everyone got away for the weekend
I wish I was one of those
Packin' up my summer clothes
Headin' down to the sea to watch the stars

I barely remember the fight last night
I had one 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

Oh

It's red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you

If I can stay awake until the sunset
I hear the fireworks are quite a sight
I drink a few icy beers even though that's what got me here
I promise to become a better man

And I know you must be hurtin'
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

Oh

And that red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you

And I spend hours just waiting
Sky turns from blue to red to black
I've never felt this much alone
As to hear those far out 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 you're gettin' back
Just need to face the facts
That you gave up on Independence Day

You gave up on Independence Day

And that red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, Starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about you

Thinkin' about him, looking at you
Thinkin' about him, being with you
