lyrics

do you miss the way I'd tell you you look pretty when you're blind
or the way I'd never hold your arm when we walked side by side
cause you never need an reason when you answer with your pride
a good habit, it will stand the test of time

in a dream I saw your mother in a crowd all dressed in black
she was tough as I remembered, spitting even as she wept
in the morning when I woke up, all the streets were filled with cracks
and I knew right then that you weren't coming back

isn't it still me that you need
and what was it you really needed from me
isn't this all what it means to be free
what it means to be free,
free like a dog from a leash

so I hope you get the picture and see the difference in-between
what's pulling out your teeth and what's just numbing up your cheek
a good woman makes you hungry but they got pills that make you sleep
so when they look concerned, you tell them that there's no need.

cause it isn't like I need it like I needed it before
It's just hard to find the thread when you're not needed anymore
so in the morning when you wake up and your holding who you love
I hope you feel that child tugging at your arm

he'll say
Isn't it still me that you need
and what was it you really needed from me
isn't this all what it means to be free
What it means to be free,
free like a fish, from the sea
