Lyrics:

People talk loudly
something is shrouding
truth as it's spoken
Won't ever hold it
up to a flame
I'm leaving the same way,
out of my mind
just burnin' the time like grass

And go back on the track
Hurtin',
searchin'
Can't seem to place
that gilded and sacred song

Fourth of july
got sweat in my eye
drop off from myself
it's turnin' me all around
Flash of a camera
Sweet panoramic
view from the top
its all that I got

And I'm holdin' on
to it for the long haul
But nothin's the same
without you here
Yeah
nothin's the same
without you here
Yeah
nothin's the same
without you here
