I told her about the pizza place
The one I bought in a dream

"We'll meet there in our dreams"
What a promise
"I'll make the dough, you'll choose the toppings"
What a programme

"We'll meet" she said
"We'll meet" she repeated
Again and again
Until she stopped

Now she meets another one in her dreams
What a let down

"I'm free" she said
"I am too" I replied

She does not belong to her husband
She does not belong to me
She does not belong to her other lovers
She is free

She does not go through the motions
She is the motions
The motions we all go through
She is free

"You're my best friend" she said
"You are too" I replied

I take what she gives
I take the friendship
I take the ***
I'm not free

She is not my friend
She is not my love
She is her
I'm not free

I don't need "free"
I need her
