Cover art for 4th of July lyrics by X

Two people, a man and his wife/girlfriend have been together a long time, and the relationship has been on the rocks for a long time, and they have apparently fought recently. Both feel lost, helpless, angry, but most of all, tired and beaten down by life. He's so tired, he doesn't even know what day it is.

And yet...as he goes outside for a smoke, he sees the fireworks, realizes what day it is, and still has some hope of redemption for the relationship. They can fix this. He takes the initiative, offers apologies, reaches out to his girl to share the moment with him.

The relationship ultimately may not survive, but at this point in time, he has not given up and tries to make things right.

A great tune, with very insightful, mature lyrics. I love this song.
