[Verse 1]
Havin' conversations in the dark
I'm talkin' to myself again
Breathin' gettin' heavy
I close my eyes and slip to the unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
I've got the fire in my belly, but my body's gettin' heavy
I can't have it all
But I don't wanna see it fall
Oh, no, no
Oh, no, no
It's like I'm fadin' away, yeah
[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm fadin' away, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Take me to Paris so I can move
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Did you think that we'd be better off in reverse?
Castin' your spell on me, ooh, you know you make it hurt
Pick it up, I want you to take me far away
Let's get it goin' now, do you hear me? Look
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got the fire in my belly, but my body's gettin' heavy
I can't have it all
But I don't wanna see it fall
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no
It's like I'm fadin' away, yeah
[Chorus]
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm fadin' away, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Take me to Paris so I can move
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Won't you take me far away? I need my release
Lookin' at me, did you forget that I need air?
Holdin' my hand, runnin' out of my luck
I'ma be waitin' right there
Lookin' for a little trust
It ain't paint by numbers
But I'm seein' colours
In the space between us
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm fadin' away, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm fadin' away, yeah
I wanna be free, yeah, yeah
Take me to Paris so I can move
