Lyrics

Salt and sand stuck to my fingers
Summer songs stuck in my head
Sleeping out in half built houses
Fireworks bursting above our bed
I felt like a king on Independence Day

We faced the future eyes wide open
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
You can’t go back
You were the best intention I ever had

In the glow of graduation
We took the stage and sat back down
And after that we knew so little
Posing in your cap and gown
You smiled, no one is immune from change

We faced the future eyes wide open
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
You can’t go back
You were the best intention I ever had X2

We came too late, broke down the door and faced the outcome
And you stayed so still, they took you in and turned their lights on
We stood staring from your front lawn

We faced the future eyes wide open
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
No, you can’t go back
You can’t go back
No, you can’t go back

We faced the future eyes wide open
Crossed all our hearts before they were broken
Said our goodbyes, nothing was spoken
You can’t go back
You were the best intention I ever had X4
