Do you think you could free me from the man I’ve been?
Do you see me now or do you see me then?
Could you clear my cache, momentarily?
For just one sec, free me from me.
Free me from your limiting ideas of me,
free me from the version you prefer I’d be,
when you grew tall, and I fell short.
Drop injunctions, and clear the court.
Forgive the debt that I've accrued.
For just one sec, free me from you.
I free you from the person I was sure I knew,
I free you from a reputation you outgrew,
I free you from behavior I expect to see,
and my interpretation of history,
‘Cause I boxed you in unconsciously,
and I saw you as I thought you ought to be,
but by loving you imperfectly,
for just one sec, I free you from me.
