Independence Day

We broke up on Independence Day
Crying more, the next-door neighbor is rich
Flashes of color on your face
The bass thumping, they're chanting names
Our cat running out of the bed
With his tail between his legs

Can of soda shaken up
With every trip, the sky erupts
And we're still born on the tab
Farming sugar in our laps

Sparkle in my throat
Can't we just take it all back?
Join the neighbors and go dancing
With a rocket and a six-pack

I am living life like writing our first draft
'Cause there's nothing to it if I cannot dally in the past and
Even if I could it would kill me to look back
Now I don't wanna see the other path
I don't wanna see that other path

Oh, to think a couple weeks before
Night driving, headlight corridor
That deer ran straight into your door
Who hit who, I'm still not sure
But we both made sounds
I never heard us make before

Oh, what if we hadn't been running late?
Oh, what if I forgot to hit the breaks?
What if that beast had sealed our fate
Dug us both a single grave?

Well, I thought it'd bring us closer
Yeah, I thought it was a sign
But all it did was drive the point home
In my body and mind

That I'm living life like writing my first draft
'Cause there's nothing to it if I cannot dally in the past and
Even if I could it would kill me to look back
Now I don't wanna see the other path
I don't wanna see the other path
I don't wanna see that other path
I don't wanna see that other path

I don't wanna see it
I don't wanna see it
I don't wanna see it

I'm living life like writing my first draft
'Cause there's nothing to it if I cannot dally in the past and
Even if I could it would kill me to look back
Now I don't wanna see the other path
I don't wanna see the other path
I don't wanna see that other path
I don't wanna see that other path

I don't wanna see it
I don't wanna see that other path
