Running around with the sound of an omniscient narrator
Only I can hear
I hung around with friends who laughed at all my jokes
Wouldn't think it'd be so hard to find
Muttering the answers to imaginary questions
Imaginary interviews
I rotated the person on the other end of the phone
Perfecting every single line

Like a penny tossed back turned into a fountain
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
On a windy winter morning far away
Or a single house on the side of a mountain
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
In the final closing moments of the day

Living my life as if I think I'll be memorialized by troubadours
Singing epic songs and ringing brassy bells
Tell the world just what I've done
Diving into the deepest part of the most secluded river
Outside my town
After I'd radiated looking right into the eyes
Of anyone that came around to talk to me

Like a penny tossed back turned into a fountain
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
On a windy winter morning far away
Or a single house on the side of a mountain
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
In the final closing moments of the day

Like a penny tossed back turned into a fountain
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
On a windy winter morning far away

I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
Breathing free, breathing free
I just wanna be, I just wanna be breathing free, breathing free
Breathing free, breathing free
