Declan Bennett - Freer

I wrote this for us in the hope
That these words might say more
Than has already been said
'Cos 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….

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS
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
