we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
  on the 4th of july
  we sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks
  explode in the sky
  and there was an exodus of birds from the trees
  but they didnt know, we were only pretending
  and the people all looked up, and were pleased
  and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending
  and i don't think war is noble
  and i don't like to think that love is like war
  and i gotta big hot cherry bomb, and i want to slip it through the mail slot
  of your front door
    don't leave me here
  i've got your back now
  you'd better have mine
  cause you say the coast is clear
  but you say that all the time
    so many sheep i quit counting
  sleepless and embarrassed about the way that i feel
  trying to make mole hills out of mountains
  building base camp at the bottom of a really big deal
  and did i tell you how i stopped eating?
  when you stopped calling me
  and i was cramped up shitting rivers for weeks
  and pretending that i was finally free
    don't leave me here
  now that your back
  you'd better stay this time
  cause you say the coast is clear
  but you say that all the time
    we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp,
  on the 4th of july
  and i planted my dusty boots on the bumper and sat out on the hood,
  and looked up at the sky
