This week was too exhausting for me to get political with this - although I was tempted. I chose personal freedom instead. I've been on a bit of a Tom Petty jag lately so I tried to get a taste. Happy to be number 10 this week. :}
lyrics
Everything seems so wrong
You’ve been talking in your sleep
And then leaving at dawn
I see you sulking when we're all alone
I see you hiding when you talk on the phone
And I know, I know something’s not right
You're looking for a way to take it slow
But that’s not gonna set you free
If you wanna go
Then get on your way
Cuz you make it harder, baby
Every minute you stay
You were the one who spoke of forever
You were the one that said to commit
The dream was slowly buried
While you were keeping secrets far away
And I naively carried the hope that you would change your ways
You're looking for a way to save your soul
Honey don't you wait on me
If you wanna to go
Then get on your way
Cuz you make it harder, baby
Every minute you stay
I don't want to pretend anymore
I don’t want to keep track of the score
I don't want to pretend anymore
We both know it's the end
If you wanna go
Then get on your way
Cuz you make it harder, baby
Every minute you stay
