Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We came here from so far away, it wasn't like we hoped it would be
The golden sun, the glittering waves, it wasn't like we hoped it would be
[Chorus]
Nobody told us, nobody told us what it was like to be free
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
[Verse 2]
The mountains rose over the plains, it wasn't like we hoped it would be
We finally came to the end of the trees, it wasn't like we hoped it would be
[Chorus]
Nobody told us, nobody told us what it was like to be free
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
We made a fire, had sex on the beach
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
It wasn't like we hoped it would be
