Free

Here are the things and here are the words
All these stupid traditions don’t seem so stupid no more
When we are young and oh so brave
We’re know-it-alls and unafraid to live like we’ll die tomorrow
When I was all about freedom
Didn’t know what I’d do
Now I think freedom
Is how I’m free to….

Climb the walls to my mind and stowaway
Inside of my heart where it’s all hidden away-ay-ay
I guess I thought it all out when I was young
Was gonna kick out the sides of this silly old town and find where I knew I wanted to lay
When I was all about freedom
Didn’t care how I’d do-oo-oo

Was gonna get crazy
See the world till it came down
Never seemed hazy
Till that soft face came round
When I was all about freedom
No thoughts of you
Now I think freedom
Is how I’m free to love you

I never get close like to stay my distance
It’s safer back here if I can make anyone else a stand in in this situation
But he’s got eyes like sun shining through a bottle of rum
I don’t know how I’m gonna make it work but I know I’m not thinking of intuition
Cuz When I was all about freedom….

Was gonna get crazy
See the world till it came down
Never seemed hazy
Till that soft face came round
When I was all about freedom
I never knew you
Now I think freedom
Is how I’m free to love you

How I’m free to love you, well baby that’s the thing
I’ve got the freedom but don’t know how to use it
Always been me, just me, all about what I want and what I’ll do
Now it’s you, and what I see is that I’m free to love you but are you free to love me….

I was all about freedom
Running away
Now I think freedom
Is my choice to stay
Was gonna get crazy
See the world till it came down
Never seemed hazy
Till that soft face came round
When I was all about freedom
I never knew you
Now I think freedom
Is how I’m free to love you
