Lyrics Independence Day - Falls

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
