Remember counting the days?
Remember grasping for moments?
Freedom was a digit away
Remember thinking the world
Closed up on you like an eyelet?
Peering through, seeing proof
Remember when you were teenage
Staring up at the ceiling?
Emotions like a runaway train
Remember making the promise
To yourself, not to be cautious?
Flawless in wondering
The watchful eyes they are misjudged
One breath, you’re on the cusp
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
Remember when people told you
That you can’t be dreaming?
The present luxuries fading
Like the air that you’re breathing
Remember when you were three
Filling your lung without question?
The first time that you fell in the sea
And could you ever imagine
If they board up the ocean?
The cracks come immediately
The watchful eyes they are misjudged
One breath, you’re on the cusp
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
And the watchful eyes, they are misjudged
One day, they’ll see
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run
You were 18, now you’re 21
Drew their lines, then they changed their minds
You were 18, now you’re 21
Housed by rules, now you’re free to run, free to run
