Free To Run Lyrics

*'around' to 'along'*
I am free to run, I walk slowly along
I'm everyone, walking slowly along
I walk slowly along

And I've been walking far too long
Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along

I feel so tired
Wanna sit here for a while,
I can see it in your smile
Come sit here, let's hold for a while

I've been walking far too long
Drag my feet like everyone
Always wanted to run away but walk slowly along
I walk slowly along
I walk slowly along

I'm free to run
I'm free to run
I'm free to run
I'm free to run
I'm free to run
I'm free to run

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

haha, i walk slow and drag my feet also. i think this song is about him having two options: to walk or run. and each option brings different things. he knows he can run but he chooses to walk slowly along and take his time. no rush. slow down.

Its a great song, I absolutely love the instrumental at the end, great stuff. I'd like to elaborate on what WatermelonofJoy said, its not about him being able to physically walk/run, but more about how we could all achieve much more than we do, ie we could run, which is harder and requires more work, but gets us there faster than walking

I agree with gomezlover but look at it slightly different. I think the main point is that it says, "run AWAY."

Not only is it about how we all are really just lazy and could find our true happiness if we ran but instead drag our feet, but also how we all get stuck in situations where we don't want to be and just can't find the energy or courage to run away.
