Concannon stated in an interview that he put himself in the shoes of his friend who was sick in the hospital to write this song.
[Verse 1]
My thoughts are a blur
I can't remember why
When my daughter sits next to me, she cries
She's a good one, looking after me well
A song or a kiss is heaven
Getting stuck in this pain is hell
[Chorus]
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Until my life runs out
Until my life runs out
[Verse 2]
I just want a cup of tea
Why can't you understand me?
Oh bugger, I can't say the words
When the nurses move me
Sometimes they shout and don't say "please"
I'm sorry I'm ill and causing you this trouble
My love
[Chorus]
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Until my life runs out
Until my life runs out
[Bridge]
Going into this black hole
But I know I've got a soul
[Chorus]
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
'Til my life runs out
'Til my life
Oh, whoa
Whoa, oh
Oh
Oh
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
'Til my life runs out
Until my life runs out
