Free

You were always so adamant

You told me

That the one thing I was missing

I didn't know I was free

Tonight, when I pulled the car around

I was alone under the sky

And I was thinking it was the first year

When I could see somehow you were right

Was I free like I should be

Or free as you were?

Is it me that you're talking to?

I could never stand these simple words

Tonight I left before the Sun rose

And drove and drove, like in a dream

All these years I have followed you

It never occurred to you to follow me
