[Verse 1]
I walk beside, I walk beside myself
To see what's left of you and me
And what it means
Sometimes we're lost
Get caught up in senseless things for nothing at all
So don't let it in
[Chorus]
We can be free if we want it
Or we can stay in this lane all alone
Just say the word and I'm on it
The past is receding so we can move on
[Verse 2]
I didn't decide
I love you despite myself
You pulled me out of who I'd been, know what I mean?
I'm not a saint
I've got no faith to lose, only to gain
At least I can dream
[Chorus]
We can be free if we want it
Or we can stay in this lane all alone
Just say the word and I'm on it
The past is receding so we can move on
[Post-Chorus]
We can be free if we want it
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
[Bridge]
I walk beside, I walk beside myself
To see what's left of you and me
And what it means
If it goes wrong
(Don't look back)
I'll reassure myself, I knew all along
(Don't look back)
At least it was real, it was real
Aah
[Outro]
We can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going, don't look back)
Yeah, we can be free if we want it
(Don't look back, keep going)
(Don't look back, keep going)

What did Nothing But Thieves say about "Free If We Want It"?
Joe Langridge-Brown:
I’ll be honest, ‘Free If We Want It’ is my favorite Nothing But Thieves song ever. I’m a massive Tom Petty fan, and it’s kind of got that whole driving feel to it. All the sections flow into each other so seamlessly, and we don’t always do that—especially when we’re experimenti...
What have the artists said about the writing and production process of the song?
Conor Mason:
I had the verse melody and believed it to be a chorus, brought it in and then we fleetwood macc’d it and gave it a ‘B’ section that turned into the ‘Chorus’. Was a lessen on restraint and build and frankly I feel confident we nailed it.
