I can still see, vividly, all the night I carried you home
With dry vomit on your shirt and spit around your mouth
You’d whisper “what are we here for?”
When you found that it all just burns and disappears
You were free to really live
You lost everything you had to a girl you’d never met in a sequin dress She winked at you as you left and you counted every step
Wondering “how long ‘til he’d turn around?”
When you found that it all just burns and disappears
You were free to really live
I give everything I have every time I sing
Now all my friends know all my sins
I’m a broken man and everyone knows it
But they catch me when I find that it all just burns and disappears
When I find that it all just burns
I’m free to really live
I’m free to really live
