Independence Day

How long could you care?
You said it once and fell down the stairs
Lighting up the advance like grand pianos in the sand
By now you've passed the test
And settled down more or less
What's in your five-year plan?
Cause it's been that long since we sang Marianne

I'd go with you to LA if you could just decide
Where you're going if you're going that way

I slept so late today
Dreaming about Independence Day
I heard you're running with some police club
And they flew you out and you're having fun
Don't call, just walk away
But it was too late and your birthday
Some words stuck and baby, that's too bad
But that was the best kiss I've ever had

Lying down I'm ok
I just can't stop my mind
I can't concentrate
I saw right through your eyes
Oh honey, now that you've gone away
I'm a wreck but I'm finally losing weight

Two night stands and neither were quiet
Got a knot on your head from that teenage riot
I know we never made valentines
But this would be our fifth 4th of July

Hear and soul spin me round
Bound to grow somehow
I wrote it all when you ran away
I just uncovered a few more lines today
Though I hope you never read them in vain
