Lyrics
Can we keep the times when somehow things went right?
Or do we throw it all away tonight?
Somewhere there are crowds with chiming wedding bells
But for today that happens somewhere else
When it's over, it's over
There's no more to be said
Never mended or defended
Do something else instead:
We caught the bus
With little fuss
There's no more 'us' forever
It's been a blast
We're free at last
Forget the past ... together
We caught the bus (everything you say)
With little fuss (everything you do)
There's no more 'us' forever
(This time the joke's on me and you)
It's been a blast (and so it ends ...)
We're free at last (the worst of friends)
Forget the past ...
Those who had their doubts
May well retain the right
To feel a tad superior tonight
Me, I guess that I will drink the night away ...
As love waves us goodbye on this our Independence Day
Everything you say ...
Everything you do ...
There's no more 'us' ... forever.
