I'm standing on a cliff top
And I'm looking out to sea
The sirens of the Netherlands
Are beckoning me
I'm trying to write a ballad
That makes you want to stay
They're easy to come up with
But they're difficult to play
'Cause I know what I'm supposed to do
But I don't know if I can
Sell the world a story
'Bout a woman and a man
Who meet at the beginning
Together they belong
It feels like they are winning
Until everything goes wrong

Take me to the open road
I'll run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes

I'm standing in the weather
And I can't open the door
Then suddenly it hits me
This isn't my house any more
I knew you wouldn't listen
So I've given you carte blanche
To build a clown asylum
On the Neverland Ranch
I can't believe it's over
I can't believe I'm free
To sleep with anybody
Who wants to sleep with me
I never wrote that ballad
There isn't such a song
I tried to make you happy
And then everything went wrong

Take me to the open road
I'll run until my heart explodes
Take me to the open road
Or give me back the love I'm owed
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes

Freedom
Freedom
Free to love again
Like the love you never showed
Love 'til our hearts explode
'Til my heart explodes
'Til my heart explodes
