I'll Never Be Free
She & Him Lyrics

Each time I hold somebody new
My arms grow cold aching for you
No one can take your place
Darling, in my embrace, I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire
No other kiss puts out the fire
Though I may try and try, no one can satisfy
This longing in me

I'll never be free from your smile so tender
The sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember
How you could thrill me with a sigh?

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you, made me
A slave to you, I'll never be free

Just like a chain bound to my heart
Your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you, made me
A slave to you, I'll never, no,
I'll never be free

According to Merge, at their initial studio session the two “were immediately struck by one another’s talents and found an instant rapport". During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. Ward. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his studio in Portland to begin work. Recorded over a period of several months, between acting work (She) and touring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey’s fledgling songs to gorgeous fruition
