Closer To Home – Fourth Of July lyrics

This Fourth of July
No fireworks or moonlight
No girl to hold or pen to write
Tonight I sigh alone goodnight

I wish that I could whisper in your ear
All the reasons why, I need you here
An eternity you asked me not to fear
All the reasons why you cant be here

So much for tonight
I lie awake with closed eyes
Just need some sleep, to kill some time
Tonight I sigh alone.
This Fourth of July
I wont be looking in your eyes
One restless sleep, to kill some time
Tonight I sigh alone goodnight

I wish that I could whisper in your ear
All the reasons why, I need you here
An eternity you asked me not to fear
All the reasons why you cant be here.

I won't say goodbye, cause this can't be the last time
One restless sleep, to kill some time.
Tonight I sigh alone goodnight

So I say no
I won't let you go
No, not like this
I'd never know..... what I had missed

I wish that I could whisper in your ear
All the reasons why, I need you here
An eternity you asked me not to fear
All the reasons why you cant be here.
I wish that I could whisper in your ear
All the reasons why, I need you here.

So I say no
I won't let you go
No, not like this
I'd never know..... what I had missed
So I say no
I won't let you go
No, not like this
I'd never know.....
