[Verse 1]
I tried to get high, but you wanted me low
Good things are happening, but happening slow
It's some kind of mystery from long ago

I finally know who I'm supposed to be
My mind was locked but I found the key
Hope it don't all slip away from me

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard times, fine lines
Moments pass by and I cry
Rewind, step behind
It's hard to find the flipside

[Chorus]
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?

[Verse 2]
You saw your reflection all over the news
Your temperature's well past a hundred and two
Put the guns away, or we'll all gonna lose

[Pre-Chorus]
Stand by, or take flight
Eat or throw your piece pie
Walk on, or be mine
Moments fly by and I cry
[Chorus]
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
I can't stand when you tell me to get back
If we're all free, then why does it seem we can't just be?
