Songtext von Perfect Distraction

A ship is safe in harbour That's not what ships are for My lips are laced with water That's what I'm sailing for Oh I long to get away Then I'll blame it all on the ocean I'll find some better place To start a brand new commotion But I have a perfect distraction Talk myself out of it all This ain't the bed I want to rest my head on Yet I know I'll lay next to you But I want to be free, free Got to be free, free I'll build my own little fortress Oh my land by the shore I don't want to be cruel or thoughtless Just don't want to be tied down anymore I just crave the protection And the love of a soldier I will bathe in attention 'till I'm grey and I'm older 'Cause I have a perfect distraction Talk myself out of the dream This ain't the song that I wanted to hum Yet I know you'll be dancing with me But I want to be free, free Got to be free, free 'Cause I have a perfect distraction Talk myself out of it all This ain't the bed I want to rest my head on Yet I know I'll lay next to you But I want to be free, free Got to be free, free I want to be free
