LET ME LIVE

Sometimes the mind just wants to get away from it all. Being caught between what you “want” to do and what you “can” is part of being human. So we reinvent ourselves every once in a while to compensate for that struggle. It’s a good feeling.

Took off work for a few days
Just got in the car and I drove away
Got myself into the mind-set
Temporary's where I'd like to stay

There's a freedom that comes with the impulse
Liberation in doing what I feel
I spend so many days trying to please everyone
Sometimes I want to be real

So let me live
Let me grow wisely
And when I give
I wanna give what I may not have
And when it circles round to the beginning
I wanna start all over, I wanna try

Everyone wants to be someone
Sometimes who they are not
And everyone wants to give something
They want to give things they haven't got

Well it's a natural kind of a process
To break down and reconvene
It's good to revolt every couple of years
Break out from the routine
Chorus

Seems that I’m always trying
To cast myself into a mold
Then break out of there whenever I grow bored
To prevent me from getting old

Then a feeling of peace washes over me
Contentment - and then it ends
So I pick up where I left off last
And start all over again
Chorus
