Elliott Smith - Independence Day

future butterfly gonna spend the day
higher than high
you'll be beautiful confusion
oh once I was you

I saw you caught between all the people out
making the scene
and a bright ideal tomorrow
oh 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 in a perfect place
it's gonna happen soon but not today
so go to sleep and make the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow

independence day
independence day
independence day
