I live just above a coffee shop
About two blocks from the Capitol
And each morning I count these steps
Before I head outside the front door
My friends are waiting across the street
We all share our hearts on a barstool
And a drink
And each morning I find myself to
Stumble onto my couch
I turn the TV set on
As the news reporter sings out loud
We are all in fear of
What we don't know of
We are all in fear of

And there's this girl
She sings between the oldest ocean
And the oldest tree
And she can't recognize beauty
Cause that's all she sees
So she steps out of the door
With her backpack in one shoulder
And my heart in the other
And my heart in the other
And my heart in the other
And my heart in the other
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And we are tryna find
Someone who we just met or followed
We're all just tryna find
We are all just tryna find
What you think I want And our hearts are in pain
Yeah, what is fact or fiction?
No, but this is the woman I love
Across the phone she listens to me drink myself to death
And so I guess I'm someone who can't live without you
So let's make love like it was the first time
And this song, it will beg us to be friends once again
And we'll again, and we'll again, and we'll again
And my friends say I have a way with words
And they are listening to what comes out
Like it's * pure
And it's so pure
And so I finally have got something to say
We are free to do whatever we please
And we are free to do like destroying the country
And we are free to do like loving someone so completely
And I am free to take this drink
Yeah, I am free to take my drink
So let me take my drink
Let me take my drink
Let me take my drink
Let me take my drink
And let me be free
