It’s not about love
not about freedom
its not about waking up
like i was actually sleeping
were you there when the ghost
crashed the party and danced
to the songs you love most
and the band you detest
i’m tipping my hat
i’m taking my leave
i’m hoping to shake off
the distance between
i remember you said
there’s power in us
your face all lit up and red
cause it was memphis or bust
i remember you sang
just a bit out of time
confident like a bird
in the prime of your life
i’m tipping my hat
i’m taking my leave
i’m hoping to shake off
the distance between
there’s a saying out west
ask a man where he’s from
and he’ll give you his best
impression of love
and for you i would carry
both my hearts on my sleeve
let the lookers all tarry
while we fight for relief
i’m tipping my hat
i’m taking my leave
i’m hoping to shake off
the distance between
