Free - Good Lovelies

I keep my lid on tightly

I dress the part and smile

But something’s stirring underneath

It’s been brewing there a while

Pacing my halls on tiptoes

Sitting, I twiddle my thumbs

Making a break when the bell goes

How fast can these legs run?

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m tired of all your stories

'Bout what you’ve seen and done

Wagging your finger back at me

Why don’t you bite your tongue?

Cutting around the corners

Traipsing through back alleys

Doing exactly what I want

Don’t care what you think of me

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m free

Free as a bird

Like a word

That leaves my mind

Like a dream

Leaves in daylight

I’ve waited a long, long while now

Bided my time for this

Traded my suits for cowboy boots

For something I wouldn’t dare miss

Keepin' my fingers crossed now

Keepin' my toes crossed too

If I blink and find I’m dreamin'

I don’t know what I would do

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m free

Free as a bird

I’m free

Free as a bird

I keep my lid on tightly
