Independence Day Lyrics
we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
on the fourth 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 didn't know, we were only pretending
and the people all looked up and looked pleased
and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending
and i don't think that 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 want to slip it through the mail slot
of your front door
you can'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
and you can't leave me here
now that you're 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 fourth of july
and i planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood
and looked up at the sky
this song is so good.
this guy i was seeing broke up with me, 15days before independance day, and alli wanted was to watch the fireworks with him, i listend to this song on repeat for 2 days after that
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?
^Those lines basically sum up the end of a relationship I was in earlier this year. I was so sick with sadness, but couldn't admit it at all. "Embarrassed about the way that I feel" It's refreshing to see Ani put it all to words.

This is the most heartbreaking song ever. Obviously about a breakup, but she gets deeper than that. You feel it.
This song is about the experience of seeing things through full circle. The first encounter speaks of a time when everything got to that point with that special person became too much, and the relationship just ended. The middle of this songs builds the story of how wrong she was for ending it, how she was depressed and unable to function. The end of this song shows how things came full circle, repeating the same scenario as earlier, but with a new understanding, a new feeling and outlook. Sometimes you need to experience how bad things are apart before you could every truly appreciate your time together.
Indeed. You do feel it.
