You Are Free

Was it impeccable timing or a will to explore?

 I don’t know where the line is

 Don’t know anymore

 Nowadays I don’t have thoughts of my own

 I’m afraid we won’t know when it’s time to move on, will we?

 I don’t know if you’re really that broken inside

 But you look quite exactly/how you did the night

 We met on this sidewalk/ When you followed me home

 When you cried out your heart until the break of dawn

 You were free then as you are free now

 And I’m sorry for sayin’ I’d never love you

 Back then it did seem like the right thing to do

 Didn’t know you‘d believe me/ you my gullible one

 Didn’t have it in me to be the first one to run

 Now I’m stuck in this place, the worst city on earth

 How can you keep such a straight face? /It’s almost too funny to hurt

 How dare you walk up in here /like it’s your God-given right

 I ain’t saying I will/ I’m just saying I might lose it, baby

 When the morning came/ I was on my knees

 But I am weightless now/ Like a summer breeze

 Guess it wasn’t something that I really needed

  

 You were never here/ at least not like that

 You acted out of fear/And I ain’t going back

 To the place I used to live in when I met you
