Independence Day Lyrics - Omaha - Falls

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
