Ethereal song with beachy ocean metaphors showing us the ways love can hold us captive, and how we may crave to be free again.
[Verse 1]
I wanna go, wanna go
Where my lover can't be found
I wanna go somewhere
I can get drunk and tan, or walk around
And I'll be seemingly free
Till my boyfriend comes to town
And I'll be seemingly free
Till my boyfriend comes to town
[Verse 2]
I'm bummin' everyone out
I'm lettin' everyone down
They're telling me there's still time
That I could still get out
But he's my man, he's the one I want
He's my man, he's the one I want
So, he don't care what I do anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
My ship has set sail, I'm waving
To friends on the shore, I'm bailing
[Chorus]
Free as some kind of prey that you caught (Free)
I'm captive and I like it less than I thought (Free)
If I ever loved you, it's my own fault (Free)
So I'll be as free as you let me be
[Verse 3]
I wanna go, wanna go
Where my lover can't be found
I wanna go somewhere
I can just think and fuck and mellow out
And I'll be seemingly free
Till my boyfriend comes to town
And I'll be seemingly free
Till my boyfriend comes to town
[Verse 4]
I just wanted to be someone that you need
I just craved a little codependency
But we've gotten too close
It's beginning to frighten me
But we've gotten too close
It's beginning to frighten me
And I don't know what I'll do anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
My ship has set sail, I'm waving
To friends on the shore, I'm bailing
[Chorus]
Free as some kind of prey that you caught (Free)
I'm captive and I like it less than I thought (Free)
If I ever loved you, it's my own fault (Free)
So I'll be free as you let me be
[Outro]
I wanna go, wanna go
Where my lover can't be found
I wanna go, wanna go
Where my lover can't be found
