Repetition
I came to this town,
Didn’t think I would get high again
Every day’s the same,
Just another I scrape by again
Leaves are changing color,
I see them in my mind again
They’re so free, oh
To be free, oh
That would be me
Falling leaves,
Spinning, dancing, singing
In my head again
I don’t want to leave my bed again
Trees breathe,
Whisper, murmur, sighing
In my head again
They’re hoping that I won’t forget again
I won’t forget I’m free
I won’t forget to be
Standing in the river I light a cigarette again
Sitting side by side, you tried to hold my hand again
Reflections in the water, capturing my gaze again
I’m so free, oh
To be free, oh
That would be me
Memories,
Playing, looping, soaring
Through my head again
I can’t get that song out of my thoughts again
It plays, rewinds, repeats that day again
Back when we were so free
Back when we climbed trees
Sunsets,
Reflecting, shining, sinking
Through the leaves again
I can’t wait for them to turn green again
The spring always sets me free
The spring will let me be
Circle of chairs, where we’ll always sit again
Battling the cold, don’t want to go inside again
Bumming cigarettes, we’re always running out again
We’re so free, oh
To be free, oh
So free
The seasons,
Shifting, turning, burning
Across that sky again
I think I felt the earth turn again
When the birds return I’ll set them free
I remember the cage that once held me
The reasons,
Chasing, holding, changing
My own mind again
Déjà vu decisions that I make again
One day I’ll decide to be free
A shooting star will come for me
I’ll be free, oh
To be free, oh
That would be me
I like this a lot, Claire
