When I was younger I only wanted expensive things
I used to dream of the life they'd bring
And all the places I'd go
I only wanted to show that I had it better off
Then all the people around me thought
My ship was under control, oh yeah
My ship was under control
I wanna know what it means to be free
All these things that I think I need
I just wanna be free
When I got older I met a girl with a white dress on
I always wished that she would have walked
Down the aisle way with me
I held a secret and now I'm singing a lonesome song
I won't go to my grave alone, no because I want to believe, yeah
I'm not the only one out in this sea
I wanna know what it means to be free
All these things that I think I need
I just wanna be free
When I was younger I only wanted expensive things
I used to dream of the life they'd bring
And all the places I'd go
