Independent

Every time you look at me, you only see the little boy

Watching sprinklers in the morning, oh the things that brought me joy

But now I'm older and I'm getting off your shoulders

And it's time for me to jump into the fire

'Cause the desire to become independent of anyone

It's taking over me

It's taking over me

And I don't ever want to have to owe a goddamn thing

The freedom to become a human being

It's taking over me

It's taking over me

And I just want to be my own

No more leeching off each other, your blood should be just fine

Do not hinder my direction, run your railroad I'll run mine

It's a saying that my father always told me

But now it seems like he was preaching to the choir

'Cause the desire to become independent of anyone

It's taking over me

It's taking over me

And I don't ever want to have to owe a goddamn thing

The freedom to become a human being

It's taking over me

It's taking over me

And I just want to be my own

Be my own person (Be my own person)

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself, and no one else

I just want to be myself (Hey)

(One, two, three, four)

Myself, and no one else
