A ship is safe in harbour
That's not what ships are for
My lips are laced with water
That's what I'm sailing for
Oh I long to get away
Then I'll blame it all on the ocean
I'll find some better place
To start a brand new commotion
But I have a perfect distraction
Talk myself out of it all
This ain't the bed I want to rest my head on
Yet I know I'll lay next to you
But I want to be free, free
Got to be free, free
I'll build my own little fortress
Oh my land by the shore
I don't want to be cruel or thoughtless
Just don't want to be tied down anymore
I just crave the protection
And the love of a soldier
I will bathe in attention
'till I'm grey and I'm older
'Cause I have a perfect distraction
Talk myself out of the dream
This ain't the song that I wanted to hum
Yet I know you'll be dancing with me
But I want to be free, free
Got to be free, free
'Cause I have a perfect distraction
Talk myself out of it all
This ain't the bed I want to rest my head on
Yet I know I'll lay next to you
But I want to be free, free
Got to be free, free
I want to be free
