"Freedom Is Insane" lyrics

"Freedom Is Insane"

Early morning my eyes gaze across the sea
No one has ever walk here except you and me
I didn't want to tell you about the other times
I didn't want you to leave across the sea

The sound of waves trades my days as someone else
I look so calm but then again I've been so far
Once I spied a wisp of smoke on the horizon
But I didn't think to let you know

'Cause here freedom is insane
Freedom is insane

Here we are so very far from all the rest
It seems the wind only knows you name
Once upon a time I found a footprint in the sand
But I rubbed it out before you came

Here freedom is insane
Freedom is insane

I came here in my hoopla car everywhere it works the same
I thought they'd treat me like a rock and roll star
I better find someone to blame
I better find someone to blame

We came here we had little choice but now it's not the same
We only have each other but I never staked my claim
It seems absurd to want to go out into the great unknown
But that's exactly the place from where we came

Early morning my eyes gaze across the sea
No one has ever walk here except you and me
I didn't want to tell you about the other times
I didn't want you to leave across the sea
