I wrote this for us

In the hope that these words

Might say more than has already been said

Cause we both live in fear that after a year

I’m still stuck in yours

And you are still trapped in my head

It's been harder than we ever imagined an ending to be

And all for the freedom I wanted to see

Freedom’s not all it's cracked up to be

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

If we were joined at the hip by pins like Siamese twins

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

Because we all move on but we don’t all survive

Behind walls of freedom that kill us than keep us alive

It’s a hard climb and the rocks they are huge

Why do we opt for the struggle instead?

I wonder if I’d known I’d be this messed up

I’d have still packed my rucksack and climbed on ahead

I just want to tell you a face to a face

I think about you and the life I replaced

And all for the freedom I wanted to taste

Freedom’s just one fuckin’ big waste of space

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

If we were joined at the hip by pins like Siamese twins

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

Because we all move on but we don’t all survive

Behind walls of freedom that kill us than keep us alive

I just want to tell you a face to a face

That I think about you all the time

And it’s the most difficult emotion that I’ve ever dealt with

Walking out on love and pretending I'm fine

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

If we were joined at the hip by pins like Siamese twins

I’d feel freer if you were handcuffed to me

Because we all move on but we don’t all survive

Behind walls of freedom that kill us than keep us alive
