When I think about the things that have been
And I think about where I was
I start to suffocate
I start to stop breathing if I think about when
The ceilings broke and the world was ours
There were no walls there was no floor
Only the openness of the wilderness was before
Only the anxiousness and the destructiveness and the helplessness covered up the freedom and the door
If I think about the future
I worry it won't be as good
I worry it won't be the same life the same aliveness the same living
It's gonna be worse
I can feel it in my bones and in my blood
It's gonna be worse
But no one can take away the lives I've lived
No one can take away the things I've seen and the people I've met and the things I've done
No one no one
No one can take away the tears I've cried the people who've died the times we've lied
No one can take away the journeys we've taken the journals we've written the stories we have
The laughs we took, the seats we took, the kisses we stole
They're ours
They're mine and they're yours and they're no one else's
No one no one
When I think about the flat with the white walls and the grey floor
When i think about what was before
I suffocate
Because the ceiling was there the wide open air the
Letters to write the melodies to hear the speeches to read
We actually cared
We cared about the laundry and the window and the garbage
We cared about the tickets and the rain
About the lampposts and the train
It was all there for us
It's all there for you
It's still there waiting for anyone who comes along and notices it
It will be there years from now remembering
And if you dare go back it will greet you like you never left because it's there for us
When I think about it I smile
I think about it all the while
It's still there
And no one can take it away from us
If I suffocate so be
If I suffocate I'm free
If I suffocate I'm free
And I think about where I was
I start to suffocate
I start to stop breathing if I think about when
The ceilings broke and the world was ours
There were no walls there was no floor
Only the openness of the wilderness was before
Only the anxiousness and the destructiveness and the helplessness covered up the freedom and the door
If I think about the future
I worry it won't be as good
I worry it won't be the same life the same aliveness the same living
It's gonna be worse
I can feel it in my bones and in my blood
It's gonna be worse
But no one can take away the lives I've lived
No one can take away the things I've seen and the people I've met and the things I've done
No one no one
No one can take away the tears I've cried the people who've died the times we've lied
No one can take away the journeys we've taken the journals we've written the stories we have
The laughs we took, the seats we took, the kisses we stole
They're ours
They're mine and they're yours and they're no one else's
No one no one

And no one can take it away from us
If I suffocate so be
If I suffocate I'm free
If I suffocate I'm free
