I want to live where the sky is big
Simple and free
That's where I want to be
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Take my clothes off
Be the one I am
In my own rhythm
Like the water
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Just living day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day
Like a cherry seed
Let me learn to bleed
Breaking open
Like the sun
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Why do I keep fucking up (3x)
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
02. My Fidelity
LAm

while I'm staying home each night, making love to my fidelity
2. I'm rocking in my bed. I can't talk, can't think, can't sleep

I'm not afraid to break the rules,
It's just, one love keeps me breathing
R. Dream about her, can't you see ...
FA SOL LAm
B. Why I love you, why I love you, why I love you I don't know
