Liberation
Pet Shop Boys · Ultimate Pet Shop Boys: Special Edition [2010]
I've changed my mind again
Really I believed it true
that all who fell in love were foolish
But I was wrong
I've learned that lesson well
All the way back home at midnight
you were sleeping on my shoulder
Take my hand
Don't think of obligations
Now, right now
your love is liberation
To free in me
the trust I never dared
I always thought the risk too great
but suddenly I don't hesitate so
Take my hand
Don't think of complications
Now, right now
your love is liberation
Liberation
The night, the stars
A light shone through the dark
All the way back home at midnight
you were sleeping on my shoulder
Take my hand,
Don't think of hesitation
Now, right now
your love is liberation
Liberation
Back home at midnight
All the way back home at midnight
Liberation
