[Verse 1]
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow, the less I know
And I have lived so many lives

We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
