Independence Day Lyrics

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 starsI 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 DayOhIt's red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about youIf 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 manAnd 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 DayOhAnd that red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about youAnd 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 backAnd 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 DayYou gave up on Independence DayAnd that red, white, and blue
Starin' at me, Starin' at you
And I'm red-eyed and blue
Thinkin' about him, thinkin' about youThinkin' about him, looking at you
Thinkin' about him, being with you
