Versuri Independence Day

  
we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp 
on the 4th of july 
we sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks 
explode in the sky 
and there was an exodus of birds from the trees 
but they didnt know, we were only pretending 
and the people all looked up, and were pleased  
and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending 
and i don't think war is noble 
and i don't like to think that love is like war 
and i gotta big hot cherry bomb, and i want to slip it through the mail slot 
of your front door 
 
don't leave me here 
i've got your back now           
you'd better have mine          
cause you say the coast is clear 
but you say that all the time 
 
so many sheep i quit counting 
sleepless and embarrassed about the way that i feel 
trying to make mole hills out of mountains 
building base camp at the bottom of a really big deal 
and did i tell you how i stopped eating? 
when you stopped calling me 
and i was cramped up shitting rivers for weeks 
and pretending that i was finally free 
 
don't leave me here 
now that your back 
you'd better stay this time 
cause you say the coast is clear 
but you say that all the time 
 
we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp, 
on the 4th of july 
and i planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood,  
and looked up at the sky
