[Intro] (clean electric guitar arpeggios, melodic bass, distant sax textures) Mm… Ah… ⸻ [Verse 1] Rain falling on the avenue Taxi lights and empty shoes Everybody moving somewhere Like they’ve got nothing left to lose I pull my coat against the wind Hands deep in the pockets again There’s a silence where your voice was But somehow I keep walking ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And every streetlight Feels like another version of me I left behind ⸻ [Chorus] I’m a free man Walking through these neon lights But freedom feels strange tonight I’m learning how to breathe again Under foreign skies Mm… A free man now ⸻ [Verse 2] The bars are full of conversations Half-heard dreams and tired eyes And for the first time in forever I don’t need to hide inside I used to disappear so easily Inside the gravity of us Now the city pulls me forward Like it knows who I was before love ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] And every stranger Feels a little less unknown tonight Than I do to myself ⸻ [Chorus] I’m a free man Walking through these neon lights But freedom feels strange tonight I’m learning how to breathe again Under foreign skies Mm… A free man now ⸻ [Bridge] (instrumentation strips back — bass and percussion remain) Maybe loneliness and freedom Wear the same disguise Maybe every ending leaves you Face to face with your own life Oh… And maybe that’s enough tonight ⸻ [Final Chorus] (drums widen slightly, soft sax enters underneath) I’m a free man Moving through the midnight haze Still carrying your shadow’s weight But I can feel the air again On this tired skin I’m a free man Though freedom feels strange sometimes And somewhere in these neon lights I think I see the rest of my life Mm… A free man now ⸻ [Outro] (guitar delay echoes into city ambience) Walking on… Under foreign skies… Mm… A free man now…
