| 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 there was an exodus of birds from the trees but they didn't know we were only pretending and the people all looked up and looked please 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 but i got a big hot cherry bomb and i wanna slip it through the mail slot of your front door you can't leave me here i've got your back now you 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 embarassed about the way that i feel trying to make molehills out of mountains building basecamp at the bottom of a really big deal and did i tell you how i stopped eating? when you stopped calling me i was cramped up shitting rivers for weeks pretending that i was finally free and you can't leave me here now that you're back you better stay this time cuz 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 |
