Free To Go

Catching butterflies, line drives, watching tv

I had seven good years ¡®til they noticed they were looking at me

I didn't like what they see

Trapped in the back seat, stay on your side

My hand out the window feeling the air rush by

While my parents fight

Where did you go? did I make you leave?

Another thing I didn't know

Nobody ever believes. they just leave, they just leave

And they'll see you on their own sweet time

They just leave

I didn't leave my room ¡®til I learned how to drive

I was sweet seventeen, fighting with the back of my mind

¡®til the wheel was all mine

Free to go, but still to young to leave

Old enough to think I know

That nobody ever believes, they just leave, they just leave

My plane landed, I'm alive

I'm not fighting with the things

I never thought I'd do to survive

Now we've finally arrived

Now I know, more than I've ever believed

You could never let me know

You were just as young as me

You had to leave, you had to leave
