Ted Leo and The Pharmacists
Set You Free
When you came to me, when I was on top
Well your songs blew through me -- sounds like wind that just crushes then lifts you back up
Well I made a decision, and we suffered the costs
And a year was spent wishing we'd not fear what we love and get back what we'd lost
We used to be inspiring -- we used to be inspired
But have you tired of me? I know I've been tiring, but babe I've just been so tired
Now here's something that you know, and sometimes you know too well
And if reminding is needed, it's probably myself that I got to tell --
You are free --
Free as anyone could be
Free as anyone could be --
But don't just take it from me
Don't just take it from me
You are free --
Free as anyone could be
Free as anyone could be --
But don't just take it from me
Don't just take it from me (x3)
It's not for me to say
But either way, you are free
