American Beauty movie - Free to Go lyrics

rate me

Song by The Folk Implosion<br /><br>

Catching butterflies, line drives, watching TV<br>

I had seven good years 'til they noticed they were looking at me<br>

I didn't like what they see<br>

<br>

Trapped in the back seat, stay on your side<br>

My hand out the window feeling the air rush by<br>

While my parents fight<br>

<br>

Where did you go? Did I make you leave?<br>

Another thing I didn't know<br>

Nobody ever believes. They just leave, they just leave<br>

And they'll see you on their own sweet time<br>

They just leave<br>

<br>

I didn't leave my room 'til I learned how to drive<br>

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

'Til the wheel was all mine<br>

<br>

Free to go, but still to young to leave<br>

Old enough to think I know<br>

That nobody ever believes, they just leave, they just leave<br>

<br>

My plane landed, I'm alive<br>

I'm not fighting with the things<br>

I never thought I'd do to survive<br>

Now we've finally arrived <br>

<br>

Now I know, more than I've ever believed<br>

You could never let me know<br>

You were just as young as me<br>

You had to leave, you had to leave<br>

<br>
