"Free" lyrics - O.A.R.

Every time the night drops
I'm up on top the rooftop
Wishing on a better life

'Cuz I've been running bases
Wonderin' what my place is
Am I gonna get it right?

Yeah, but daddy said "boy don't play,
You can be anything you want someday"
But I've been losing patience
Staring at these spaceships
Dreaming of a better life

I run away, I run away sometimes
Don't look back, no I don't say goodbye
I run away, I run away sometimes...

Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need
Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need

I was on the ocean
Waiting on a breeze
Looking at the answers
Swimming under me
Don't tell me where I'm going
Only where I've been
Something about to change now
Coming from within

I run away, I run away sometimes
I don't look back, no I don't say goodbye
I run away, I run away sometimes...

Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need
Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need

(Hold me down, hold me down, all the way)
(Hold me down, hold me down, all the way)

Now I'm free (Hold me down, hold me down, all the way)
I know I'm not dreaming, I'm just ready to fly
Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need
Now I'm free
After all, all we are, is all we need
(I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)
(Yeah)
(I know there's something out there)
(Hold me down, hold me down, all the way)
I know I'm not dreaming, I'm just ready to fly
