about

Free/happy - This song is about growing up and the nostalgia of thinking of old friends and old loves. It's also about thinking about the good times after moving on from the bad times.

lyrics

When we stayed at our friends house and you climbed up that tree,
You said "no one will liberate you, boy, you set your own heart free"
And I believed you.

When I turned 17 you said "now everything will change"
So we laid out in the street and I said "I won't forget your name"
And you believed me.

And I didn't know your skin would be so soft when you kissed me,
And I didn't know my heart would be so heavy.
And I didn't know your eyes would shine so bright when you left,
But I know that you are free and you are happy.

Don't give me that face like in that bonfire in August
When you said you felt replaced and I just said that to be honest,
You'd replaced me.

So I'll preoccupy my time like in that broken-hearted winter
When you confessed that you had lied and that your heart had loved another
While I still loved you.

Can you save any happiness for me in a whisper?
Can you cover up my sins with a new cupid?
And I'll laugh at all your jokes with my heart wrapped 'round your finger,
But I know that when it's over I'll feel stupid.

Remember that night when your dog ran away
When you called me up crying and you begged me to stay
I said "the good things never last"
You said "the bad things shouldn't count"
I said "these things go by too fast,"
You said "Yeah that's what it's about"
And I said I loved you.

And I didn't know my heart would feel so small when you left me
And I didn't know my arms would be so heavy.
And it's not your fault that I woke up alone, at home again.
'Cause I know that you are free and you are happy.
