From the recording The Plaid Dog Sessions
This is a breakup song about a long distance relationship, and finding one's Independence Day!
Lyrics
I'm on your side of the river.
I'm on my way.
Coming down to see my baby,
I can hear you say.
I'm gonna put down the madness,
that leads you astray.
I'm where I want to be lately.
I know that I must stay.
I know the time will fly by real soon,
and you can make it through,
this Independence Day.
Cracked mirrors and memories of midnight,
learning how to live without.
That's the thing about dreams pretty baby,
sometimes they don't work out.
I've been healing,
trying to shake that lonely feeling.
I’ve been trapped inside these clouds since May.
I'm gonna clear em away,
this Independence Day!
I wish you could just roll with it C!
I know you can be,
not bold enough to keep it together,
and to keep on moving.
I wish I could could just look into your eyes,
say "Put this thing aside,
Move on with your life,
Just try and you might stop losing".
I’ll never cross that state line again,
without thinking just how far we’d been.
Go and find your wings now fly away!
Go and find your Independence Day!
I'm on your side of the river>
I'm on my way.
Coming down to see my baby,
It's Independence Day!
