Walking through a blizzard like it’s a sunny day
Getting more surrounded every time we try to get away
After so long, how could we be wrong

We spend our time maneuvering and building up our past
We look into the future to predict what’s going to last
I can hear you shout, “It’s time to get out.”

But I….I see you, and together we are free
And I see you and that’s all I want to see

We head out of the city and we don’t have a dime
A lot of good it did us putting in for overtime
It came and went and it all got spent

We ride with lonely drivers, we sleep along the road
We inch our way away from everything we ever owed
You say “we may be free, but this is getting to me.”
We may be free, but this is getting to me.

But I…I see you and together we are free
And I see you and that’s all I want to see
But I see you need a better guarantee.

We swab the decks of wanderlust until we run aground
We lock ourselves inside the walls we buy for nothing down
Where we move in to dream of where we’ve been

We spend our time maneuvering and building up our past
We look into the future and we see it coming fast
After so long, we’re right where we belong
We got no time to be wrong

But I…I see you and together we are free
And I see you and that’s all I need to see
And I see you and together we can turn the key
And off we go again.
