lyrics

Broke free from a paradise
Had something so long swore it wasn't right
Now I'm a bloody mess in this freedom fight
Scraped knees and easy eyes

Some whiskey for the colder nights
Some cold nights due to lovers strikes
Try not to notice her beauty's trite
She's got no grace between the lines

It's something that used to be free but now it has a cost
With these eyes all I used to see is where I'd be if I was lost
But now I want to be with you

I want to be with you

Some nights I spent in New York
In your dirty sheets, playing hearts
Providing comfort and security
So it wasn't hard

On the other nights when we became strangers
Braving freedom's loveless bars
We were trying on others while trying not
To go back to our start

It's something that used to be free but now it has a cost
With these eyes all I used to see is where I'd be if I was lost
But now I want to be with you

I want to be with you

We were frightened that our devotion
Would find happiness somewhere else
But the traveler knows that his home
Is where the road leads when thrills where off

But it's these unknown pastures and unknown lovers
Creating wonder in the wanderer's bones
Yeah, we tried, now we see, we don't want what we seek
Just the knowledge found in the unknown

But now I want to be with you

I want to be with you

I want to be with you
