Freedom

You ask me to stay, my darling, but I put on my coat
In the distance I hear a ringing, a warning, a stoplight It's flashing at me
You've reached for my hand now, baby
But it's holding my keys
I forget why I'm here, but my shoes are heavy
It's hard when you look back at me
I know that freedom
Doesn't feel like this
I think that freedom
Will be weightless
Drowning under the waves of intention
Can't mold to be your invention
Giving relentlessly
I want my freedom

You say that you mean
Well, baby, you wanna do right by me
As long as I tiptoe
Never lead, just follow
Be the woman you want me to be

Freedom doesn't feel like this
I think that freedom will be weightless
Drowning under the waves of intention
Can't mold to be your invention, giving relentlessly
I want my freedom

Breathing heavy trying to swim through these waters
Keeping both of us afloat, you let go
I've been treading alone for so long now
But freedom doesn't feel like this
And freedom will be weightless
Drowning under the waves of intention
Can't mold to be your invention
Giving relentlessly
I want my freedom
