I forgot
For a long time, I didn't know what
What kind of song I should be singing or not
You know the wrong kind of thinking can rot
And dirty up all your dreams
I said, "Help me out"
I'm alone in a river of doubt
I need to know what I'm really about
Then a blow from a mean knock out
Pulled me out of the stream
I'm finally free
Free of the world alone
Billie is on the phone
And I've got this little heartbeat on me
I'm free like a vagabond
Time keeps dragging on
And it really don't matter to me
Finally free
Oh, well
Like a pearl, wanna stay in a shell
I kept working my way down into hell
Found a church with no saviour or bell
Just a room full of broken mirrors
And I sat down
Right away I started looking around
Then one day I was shook when I found
My own name on a book on the ground
And I heard sanity in my ears
I'm finally free
I'm free of the world alone
Billie is on the phone
And I've got this little heartbeat on me
I'm free like a vagabond
Time keeps dragging on
And it really don't matter to me
But if I forget
And I fall back on piercing regret
And I don't call every losing bet
Yeah, when all the news I get
Blows up in my face
Oh, those days, those horrible days and nights
When I can't tell a friend from a fight
And I can't pretend that I'm alright
Won't you help me remember the light
And guide me through the maze?
I'm finally free
Free of the world alone
Billie is on the phone
And I've got this little heartbeat on me
I'm free like a vagabond
Time keeps dragging on
And it really don't matter to me
I'm free of the world alone
Billie is on the phone
And I've got this little heartbeat on me
I'm free like a vagabond
Time keeps dragging on
