Paula Cole

I keep walking down the same city streets
The same city lines, to the same lonely beat
People say hello but I dont know what to say
I dont know how I feel, I just cant act that way
I wanna hide from all these strangers
I wanna run home to you
All I need is your compassion
Then we can be free,yes
I wanna be free,yes
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
Oh, the way Im shut out by your silence
Its the loudest thing Ive ever known
You leave me, leave me hanging
til I feel useless with my hope
Oh, its lonely in the city
It can be lonely next to you
Just have the courage to open up yourself
Then we can be free,yes
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
