Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I walk beside

I walk beside myself

To see what's left

Of you and me

And what it means

Sometimes we're lost

Get caught up in senseless things

For nothing at all

So don't let it in

[Verse 2]

We can be free if we want it

Or we can stay in this lane all alone

Just say the word and I'm on it

The past is receding so we can move on

[Verse 3]

I didn't decide

I love you despite myself

You pulled me out of who I'd been

Know what I mean?

I'm not a saint

I've got no faith to lose

Only to gain

At least I can dream

[Verse 4]

We can be free if we want it

Or we can stay in this lane all alone

Just say the word and I'm on it

The past is receding so we can move on

[Verse 5]

We can be free if we want it

Yeah, we can be free if we want it

Yeah, we can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back)

Yeah, we can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back)

[Verse 6]

I walk beside

I walk beside myself

To see what's left

Of you and me

And what it means

If it goes wrong (Don't look back)

I'll reassure myself

I knew all along (Don't look back)

At least it was real

It was real

[Verse 7]

We can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back)

Yeah, we can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back)

We can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back)

Yeah, we can be free if we want it

(Don't look back, keep going

Don't look back, keep going)
