Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fire started at 4 in the morning
Dawning on his daddy's cigarette, burning low
He's still hearing the sound
Tryna get out of a house that never felt like home
[Verse 2]
You bring up the memories
He's still stuck at seventeen
And leave him work in the evening to start drinking
For a reason that he already knows
[Chorus]
Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see falling
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
He met her under the mountains of Montana
By the summer, they all went up in smoke
He said, "We're better together"
But all these embers seem to follow me wherever I go
[Verse 4]
Don't block at twenty-three
Don't change the history
He was watching the shimmer out on the river
Saying, "Maybe this is my way home"
[Chorus]
Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see falling
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see falling
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
