Free Tonight Lyrics

Drifted to your door

Fell about you like a stack of boxes in a store

And then felt you pull away

Just as close as ever but you didn't want to stay

It's got to do with history

It's got to do with will

Not to mention my pathetic lack of skill

But tell me that you're free tonight

Just say you're free tonight

It's been an awful day

Caught up in a tricky web of priorities and pay

Restlessness and rules

Nothing's been simple since the day I finished school

The politics and platitudes I cannot leave behind

But maybe for tonight I can unwind

Just tell me that you're free tonight

Just say you're free tonight

I feel the pounding in my temples

Hear the thunder rolling in my ears

There's something that you own

More a part of you than bone

That can wash away my worries

Put an end to all my fears

And I held back all I could

Went through months of trouble knowing you could do me good

But now I see my mistake

I'm a stretched-out rubberband, I'm just about to break

I'm sorry I must trouble you

And take up precious time

But listen to me rattle off my rhyme

And tell me, are you free tonight

Are you free tonight

Tell me that you're free tonight

Just say you're free tonight
