Member Jonah Marais‘ favourite track off of Why Don’t We’s debut EP, “Free” is an uplifting song about a girl who may be in a bad place, with the guy trying to convince her she doesn’t need to live that life anymore.
In a track-by-track commentary for the EP, Corbyn Besson said this:
It’s really j...
[Verse 1: Zach Herron, Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
You should be flyin' with me
You could be smilin' with me
You wouldn't be cryin' with me
We could be wildin', we could be free
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
And if the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could
[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
[Breakdown]
[Verse 2: Zach Herron, Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
You're so invitin' with me
Shotgun, you're ridin' with me
Your love collided with me
We could be wildin', we could be free
[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
And if the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could
[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
[Breakdown]
[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery + Zach Herron]
If the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could
[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
