Lyrics

I wanna shake

I wanna wind out

I wanna leave

(this) mind and shout

I've lived

all this life

like an ocean

in disguise

I don't live for

ever

you can't keep me here

I wanna race

with the sundwon

I want a last breath

I don't let out

Forgive

every being

the bad feelings

it's just me

I won't wait

for answers

you can't keep

me here

I wanna rise

and say goodnight

wanna take

a look on the other side

I've lived

all these lives

it's been wonder

full at night

I will live for

ever

you can't keep

me here.
