From the recording La La Life
I was sleeping on someone's couch in London and trading cooking favors for food when I wrote this song.
Lyrics
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Nobody dare tell another sad story
About the one that nearly got away
I wanna be where the
Mad meets the glory
I wanna hear what the angels say
This restless quest makes a spirit weary
Sometimes I break down
And start to cry
Nobody told me I would be running
But I don’t have to wonder why
I need to have my own
Even if that means I’m alone for a while
I need to have my own
Even if that means
I’m a clone for a while
I saw my friend just the other day
When he went down he never got up
Still he swears that he’s on his way
Sister believe me I never gave up
I wish I could take you where I’m going
I won’t really know till I get there
But I wanna wake up
Without wondering
If I can really settle here
I need to have my own
Even if that means I’m alone for a while
I need to have my own
Even if that means
I’m a clone for a while
So I’ll walk with the angels
What do angels have to say?
Talk with the angels
Why do angels have to pay?
I wanna be where the ocean reeks
Of many things that are right in my life
Open the window climb inside
I need to sleep with God tonight
I need to have my own
Even if that means I’m alone for a while
I need to have my own
Need to feel my life is my own
It’s my right
I’m gonna have my own
Even if that means I’m alone for a while
I need to have my own
Even if that means I’m alone for a while
Even if that means
I’m a clone for a while
