there was something in the way that the day broke
thunder rumbled in a darkened sky
wind in your hair, rain on your face
fire in your eyes with your head held high
i felt no pain as you walked away

i felt no pain it was no surprise
and i had to say that i know there's
no such thing as a free ride, yeah
there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah

i could see, i could see clouds coming
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds breaking
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater

there was something in the way that our hearts flowed
locked in the rhythm no need to try
there was something in the way that they grew cold
when the rain came and our innocence died
when the rain it came and we had to pay
had to pay for the free ride
when the rain came it came and we had to say
out loud what we felt down inside
and we had to say that we knew there's
no such thing as a free ride, yeah
that there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah
there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah

i could see, i could see clouds coming
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds breaking
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds coming
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds breaking
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater

warm, like home, warm, like summers we were warm
like home, warm, like summers we had known
and shared and cherished
back when we used to care about each other
and the feelings that we shared as
hand in hand until we said there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah
there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah
there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah
there's no such thing as a free ride, yeah

i could see, i could see clouds coming
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds breaking
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater

i could see, i could see clouds coming
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
i could see, i could see clouds breaking
and i knew we'd soon be treading floodwater
