Free World
Water & Bodies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel an urgency like I have never felt before
It feels right
If we just walk away, perhaps they'll never see
That there's nobody else, there is only you and me
Alright
It's just a pattern, and like life, will just go over again
It's a free world
We try to brush it off, a chance to settle down
Familiar feeling in a normal place with familiar sounds
And on and on it goes
But everybody was close up, and nobody backed down,
It was a scene, but you and I, we made it out
You say it's different, I think it's still the same
It's just a pattern, and like life, will just go over again
It's a free world
All this talk of consequence, I've thought about it now
And I cannot believe it's only for the night
We can find some comfort in the fact we made it out
And we've got to believe it's not just for the night
I've seen a lack of vision, I've seen it turn to war
I feel an urgency like I have never felt before
You say it's different, I think it's still the same
It's just a pattern, and like life, will just go over again
It's a free world
