Tricky

Under the stars
Up where you found me
The night was so warm
It felt so profound, see

You felt a stirring
And I saw it too
Into the big world
Who cares of truth

Like brumbies we ran all through the ranges
Never did I want to be a changing
You said you love me and I felt it too
But we were just kids and you were just so far from home

'Cos I'm born, born to be tricky
And I wonder if it's just this place in time
I want to be free, like them, in me

Remember how we were, how time is like water
The life that it feeds is the same thing it slaughters
A cold Melbourne night, the rain falling hard
A boy through the door, I felt the burn of a spark

The days became long and our love became mute
I never imagined a stranger in you
But things they are fragile, an idea that lingered
Grew strong inside me and I brood confusion alone

'Cos I'm born, born to be tricky
And I wonder if it's just this place in time
I want to be free, like them, in me
I want to be free, like them, in me

I know I will always have a problem
I know I will always have a problem, with you
I know I will always have a problem
