You were tired of living
The solitary way it ended up
Watching your whole life become
Love on the run

How much time are we given
To find someone and tell 'em all apart?
Carving our names in the bark
What have we done?

Ooh, just a loving song, a loving song of freedom
Like I'm in danger
When there ain't nobody else
I put my heart back on the shelf
Turn into light

Took in all I was given
Erased it all to fake a work of art
Nothing to show for it all
Did I do my part?
Don't they say so?

Don't have to say goodbye
If you wanna, if you wanna
Leaving it all behind
If you wanna, if you wanna
Why don't you tell me lies
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna
Won't you begin to drive?

Ooh, just a loving song, a loving song of freedom
Like I'm in danger
When there ain't nobody else
I put my heart back on the shelf
Turn into light

Our lies like anybody else
All the countless turns we've taken for ourselves
And though we walk alone, the sun will shine again
The sun will shine again before we rise
