lyrics

Oh I’m 25 and still doing things I like
Lost enough to know what I really need to find
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away

Things are getting sad
Never thought it’d be this state
Takes more than a lot of noise
To get them out of bed
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away

Alive I’ll cry
And when I die
I’ll just say goodbye

Deep in the heart of town
There’s a voice that speaks out loud
Of love and a brotherhood
But we’ve never stopped to look
Please don’t you stand in my way
I want to go away

Oh the sight the birds
Flying high above the trees
Makes me want to feel so free
What it’s like to be so free
I want to go away
Please let me fly away

Alive I’ll cry
And when I die
I’ll just say goodbye
Goodbye
