When I Want!

I feel every time that I'm home
I need to run from this place
Tearing down the walls when I want
Too many rules where I stay

Cause I'm still tryna learn about myself
Hold me back with these shackles on my feet
Let me mess up so that I can see
That life is how I want it to be

Will I make it out of my hometown
With a broken car that barely runs
Its a hand me down so it won't get far
But I need to get up out this town

Cause if I don't, I just might go insane
Like my friends that tried to numb the pain
With a stollen bottle of cheap champagne
They take some pills to try and trick the brain

So I'll do whatever just to make it out
Get a pair of shoes and start running south
Maybe buy a bike so I can cycle out all the other shit I don't talk about

And maybe I'm weird for thinking that
Maybe I'm weird for wanting out
But I can't stay here in this broken house
And they ask me why and I always say

I feel every time that I'm home
I need to run from this place
Tearing down the walls when I want
Too many rules where I stay

Cause I'm still tryna learn about myself
hold me back with these shackles on my feet
Let me mess up so that I can see
that life is how I want it to be

And I know that I should be grateful
That I made it where I am right now

But I always thought I was made for more than this
Will I drive a Porsche or was just a wish
Cause I had big dreams as a little kid
Saw a shooting star, I envisioned it

Yeah I woke up in a mansion
With a couple of Dalmatians
With the perfect wife and the perfect kids
And I'm living large, got a wealthy life

But, when I get back to reality
My parents say they aren't proud of me
And my friends always lie to see if I noticed

Well I notice, that I don't want to be like them
And I notice, that I need to get up out this town

I feel every time that I'm home
I need to run from this place
Tearing down the walls when I want
Too many rules where I stay

Cause I'm still tryna learn about myself
Hold me back with these shackles on my feet
Let me mess up so that I can see
That life is how I want it to be

Just how I want
Oh just how I want it to be
Just how I want
Oh just how I want it to be
