Rather Be Free

Don’t let him know you, don’t let him see
The graze on your head and the scars on your knees
Scars on your knees
And don’t let her know you, don’t let her see
The tears in your eyes when you’re not a machine
Not a machine
We didn’t know how to be
I ran with my brother to the swing between the trees
We had no roles to rehearse
We flipped a quarter to see who would swing first
We didn’t know how to be
I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
With my feet
But you don’t let him know you, you don’t let him see
You’re a thinker and a fighter and a captain at sea
Captain at sa
And you don’t let her know you, you don’t let hr see
You’re a lover and a dreamer in the passenger seat
Passenger seat
We didn’t know how to be
I ran with my brother to the swing between the trees
We had no roles to rehearse
We flipped a quarter to see who would swing first
We didn’t know how to be
I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
With my feet
But you don’t let them know you, you don’t let them see
You’re tired of pretending, you’d rather be free
Rather be free
Sky
Sky
I could go higher, I’d touch the sky
