5th of July

I haven't eaten or slept but I'm not hungry or tired
I haven't taken anything but I am so wired
round about midnight that was when I hit the highway
the heat lighting was so close
I don't wish that you were here
you can't give me everything my dear
that song comes on the radio and I never want to die
the tension builds and I swallow hard so I don't start to cry
I'm going really fast I'm singing at the top of my lungs
and when it gets to the chorus its like an orgasm
I wish that you could see
how much happier I am when I am free
what I am and what you want me to be
its not the same thing
what I am and what you want me to be
its not the same thing
being alone comes so naturally to me
maybe I'm some kind of freak
the thunder finally breaks it echoes fate
the rain is pounding on the roof all the windows down this is so great
cars are pulled over under underpasses
waiting out the storm I hope it lasts
I never liked the way you hate the rain
I always loved hurricanes
what I am and what you want me to be
its not the same thing its not the same thing
what I am and what you want me to be
its not the same thing
what I am and what you want me to be
what I am and what you want me to be
what I am and what you want me to be
