(Verse 1) Woke up at 2 PM, sun hitting the floor Same chipped coffee mug, keys by the door Got a text from my manager, I just ignore 'Cause I can’t do the fake shit, not anymore Remember sitting on the curb back in '21? Staring at the sky, chasing after the sun Now I'm running out of breath, running out of time Trying to fit my heavy heart into a 15-second line (Chorus) But I just want freedom, real kind, no lease Looking for a little bit of inner peace Yeah, they sell it in a bottle but it's all a lie I’m just trying to feel alive before I die Oh, give me that freedom, acoustic guitar Singing to the dashboard, driving too far Yeah, we got it all wrong, trying to be a star When freedom is exactly where you already are (Verse 2) Fast forward, now I'm tripping on the concrete Hollywood nights, but I miss my own street Everybody's talking, but nobody hears Drowning out the music with a couple of beers And my mom called yesterday, asked if I'm okay I said, "Yeah, I'm making money," but there's nothing left to say 'Cause the radio is playing what they want me to be But the kid from Orange County just wants to be free (Chorus) Yeah, I just want freedom, real kind, no lease Looking for a little bit of inner peace Yeah, they sell it in a bottle but it's all a lie I’m just trying to feel alive before I die Oh, give me that freedom, acoustic guitar Singing to the dashboard, driving too far Yeah, we got it all wrong, trying to be a star When freedom is exactly where you already are (Bridge) La-da-da, let it go Everything you think you know La-da-da, breath it in This is where the days begin No more contracts, no more chains Just the open road and the summer rain (Chorus) Give me that freedom, real kind, no lease Looking for a little bit of inner peace Yeah, they sell it in a bottle but it's all a lie I’m just trying to feel alive before I die Oh, give me that freedom, acoustic guitar Singing to the dashboard, driving too far Yeah, we got it all wrong, trying to be a star When freedom is exactly where you already are (Outro) Where you already are Yeah, just the sunset and a cheap guitar That's freedom Yeah, that's freedom
