Elliott Smith — Independence Day lyrics

Future butterfly gonna spend the day higher than high
You'll be beautiful confusion
Ooh once I was you
I saw you caught between all the people out making the scene
And a 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 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
