Lyrics
4th Of July
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Seasons never change, the Sun, it always shines
Swimming in palm springs, losing track of time
It's easy just to float, to enjoy the ride
Don't be critical, only bring good vibes
Have a little fun, join in with the tribe
There ain't nothing wrong with turning off my mind
But if my old friends, they could see me now
Would they recognize?
On the fourth of July
Take a look around you, how did we get so high?
On the fourth of July
How can we be humble living in paradise? Oh
Summer lasts forever
But I know that the best times never last
Says she wants the shoes in every color
Whatever makes you feel good can't be bad
How much is enough? It's all gonna burn
Doing what we love with every cent we earn
These luxuries do lie, they say do not be ashamed
Where'd you lose your pride?
On the fourth of July
Take a look around you, how did we get so high?
On the fourth of July
How can we be humble living in paradise? Oh
Feels like I've got so far away
From living hand to mouth and day to day
Oh, what I know now is that I wouldn't be here with you
If somebody up there weren't looking out for me
I think that I'm special, you say that it's selfish
I'll never forget what you gave up for me
Why you think I'm special if I'm only selfish?
I'll never forget what you gave up for me
Thought that I was special, you say that I'm selfish
I'll never forget what you gave up for me
Why should I be special if I'm only selfish?
I'll never forget what you gave up for me
What makes me so special? You think that I'm selfish
I'll never forget what you gave up for me
