Ellis Paul - Independence Day Lyrics
Ill shed some light on the mysteryOf why I kicked her out on Independence DayWith the fireworks burning I found myself learningCouldnt lay in my bed the same wayStand by me thats what she said if the shit hit the fanWould you stand by me,Stand by meWell, here I amHere I am6 oclock in the cityThe shade was fighting back with the morning sunThen the alarm started ringinHer curls fell round herShe asked me when the buses runAnd the phones been ringing since MondayShes looking for a place where she can talk all aloneBut here I amHere I amI know your tricks, your magicBut I dont know what your truth is aboutIf you paint the daylight tragicYoure never gonna figure it outOutFrom a chair in the kitchenI watched her live her life in a batting cageSwingin through jobs, through her familyThen it hit me, it grabbed meShes winding up like Satchel PageAnd I could hear the crash of the fireworksBringing in the light through the windows and doorsIt lit a little matchbox found in the kitchenI read the name and number and I fell on the floorBut here I amHere I amHere I amI know your tricks, your magicNow I know just what your truth is aboutIf you paint the daylight tragicYoure never gonna figure it outOutStand by meThats what you saidYou said youd stand by meStand by meHere I amHere I am
