Free To Be
Jet feat. Marissa Guzman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Communication breakdown
Is there any way to figure this out?
I'm hoping it might pass
I'm running solo if the meltdown lasts
No, I don't wanna go home
I never think about taking it slow
No, I don't wanna comedown
My intuition's always dragging me out

I just gotta
Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night
Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night

I'm going outta my mind
Another deja vu scenario
I let the vertigo drive
And play the radio down to Mexico
I just wanna get high
A hundred miles under soft moon light
Watching the lines fly by
I let the world shake to the rhythm

I just gotta
Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night
Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night

I can't seem to face the facts
I'm convinced whatever's going on in my mind is going straight to my head
Just let go (repeat x6)
And be free

Set 'em up, knock 'em down
Now I'm right back in the thick of it
Out all night in Hollywood
Til the sun's coming up and I'm all alone
I don't wanna fight the feeling
I don't wanna fight the night

Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night




Let go be free, don't fight the feeling
Let go be free, don't fight the night
