Lyrics Independence Day - Elliott Smith

Future butterfly
Gonna spend the day, higher than high
You'll be beautiful confusion
Ooh-ooh-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 gonna happen soon, but not today
So go to sleep, amid the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow

Independence Day
Independence Day
Independence Day
