lyrics

Pride for your country, pride for bein' gay
Climbin' up this one tree yeah it's just another day
I'm tryin' hard not to want you but it ain't easy
The good dreams never come true the way you tease me

You hold the door open but you won't let me in
So I sit on your front steps and count these happy little sins
And I try to forget you but it ain't easy
You tell me that I get you and you release me

It's all blue skies in your green eyes
Walking through the park so high
It's all blue skies in your green eyes
On this first day of July

First time and the last time are one and the same
Got to the next level but I'll never beat the game
I swear to God I'll never love you, not that way
But I'll be thinkin' of you on Canada Day

It's all blue skies in your green eyes
Walking through the park so high
It's all blue skies in your green eyes
On this first day of July

I see you with your dukes up and your game face on
I'm in your corner babe, I'm in your corner babe
I hope you break his little heart
I hope you break it real hard
Shoot me right in the face
Run around and push me outta the way
Spend the rest of my sunny summer days

Dodging bullets with you
