Elliott Smith - Independence Day Lyrics

Elliott Smith Lyrics

"Independence Day"

Future butterfly
Gonna spend the day higher than high
You'll be beautiful confusion
Ooh, once I was you

I saw you caught between
All the people out making a scene
And the bright ideal tomorrow
Ooh, don't go too far, stay who you are

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
You only live a day
But it's brilliant anyway

I saw you at the perfect place
It's going to happen soon, but not today
So go to sleep, make the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow
Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
