Freedom

You said, “I need you most”

I said, “I need you now”

A life ahead of us

And all we have is now

Everything behind us

We left it all on read

Packed up what we had

For the hope of what’s ahead

Windows down, we rode

With just a suitcase full of clothes

Rearview watching everything

We’d ever known turn into ghosts

Didn’t know where we were going

But we knew we’d be alright

Somehow we always find our way

Even in the darkest nights

We lost our way back home

But out there found ourselves

Turns out getting a little lost

Was what we needed now

Oh, we had it all

All we’d ever need

A life that other people

Only thought was made of dreams

And freedom filled the air

Like breathing for the first time

No place we had to be

No reason we couldn’t cross that county line

Maybe what we thought we had

Was never what we needed most

Maybe home was never somewhere—

Maybe home was who we chose

So keep the windows down

Let the whole world pass us by

We’ve got nowhere we have to be

And we’ve got all damn night

If we miss another turn

We’ll just find another road

I don’t care where we’re going

If you’re the one I’m going with

We thought we had everything

But we found something more

A little less to hold onto

A whole lot more to live for

And if somebody asks me

Where I finally found my home—

It was somewhere getting lost with you

A thousand miles from what we’d known.
