It’s weird that corner you turn in a relationship where all the stuff you used to love about someone suddenly gets under your skin. I think this song is about working through that point.
When We’re Free
Sometimes I’m in my little room late at night, rollin life over and thinking by candlelight
Singing myself songs that nobody hears
I listen to voices that whisper of choices, and tell of a time that we were all free
Whisper that things are worse than we fear
But it’s all right, we’ll be fine tonight
Everything will be different when we’re free
And it’s all right, there’s no need to fight
Everything will be different when we’re free
I’m a slob, but you’re a drunk and I get high a little to much
We never really get around to what’s really wrong
I hide from you and you hide from me, either of us only show the things we want seen
I know I’ll be lost before to long
(Repeat chorus)
