Jimmy Eat World - You Are Free

Riddles keep me up at night, a lonely feeling to be understood
You told me often how it was but I wasn’t ready to hear it so plain
Amazing — the effort we put in; amazing — the emotional bridges, tunnels, roads,
and ways we go around what’s one step from our face

I see it clearly now

Honey, you are free as much as you can stand to be
You are free as anything you think that means
You are free to be who you want, what you need, yeah, who you want,
what you need, baby, you are free

Everyone has their opinions but I’m the one that’s gotta walk it
So much fear to get over and so much pain to get past
Wish there was a easy way through,
wish there was a way to learn it all and have my bright new shiny tools
— without the cost attached

I think we’ve paid enough

Honey, you are free as much as you can stand to be
You are free as anything you think that means
You are free to be who you want, what you need, yeah, who you want,
what you need, baby, you are free

I think we’ve paid enough
I think we’ve paid enough

Honey, you are free as much as you can stand to be
You are free as anything you think that means
You are free to be who you want, what you need, yeah, who you want,
what you need, baby, you are free
