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
