Alex Tooley - Great to Be Free Lyrics

(Look)
Now I'm finally out the door
There was a lot I had to work for
But now what lies ahead of me
Is this world of insecurities
I'm sorry I have to leave you behind
It sucks but I know you will do fine
I'm sure I'll come back to town
To see what's remained, see what's changed
For now I have to drive alone
To go find this new place to call home
I'm not sure where I'm landing yet
But I hope it's great I'm gonna bet
Wherever I decide to be
There will be new things in store for me
Unfamiliar as can be
It's an adventure I tell you that

Oh, it's great to be free, yeah
No more restrictions, no more limitations
Oh, it's so new to me, yeah
This great feeling, of my own controlling

I flew to Arizona
To see what they had there for me
It was great but my best friend
She was over east and disagreed
This was a common battle for us
We encounter it throughout the months
I try to convince her though
It's not as bad as it seems
What about San Francisco?
It's the town of 49er's gold
Not even there it seems
Is it acceptable to go
I'm running out of options
I'm running out of time
Please make up your mind
Or your path will be split from mine

Oh, it's great to be free, yeah
No more restrictions, no more limitations
Oh, it's so new to me, yeah
This great feeling, of my own controlling

This grown up life it's so stressful
It's full of uncertainty that continues to wrap around me
It piles up on my desk next to the pile of tangled wires
I never got to those
But I must concentrate on this
Otherwise I have to make a list
Of all the things I have left undone
I don't know when I'll get to them
No matter where I put this sticky note it seems to continue to unstick from my mind
I'm expected to remember all of this and keep it in my head
I just go to bed
Every night
Trying to contain all this information and remain sane at the same time
It's harder than it sounds
And some how I made it through all of this
Still breathing fine and still being conscious
This freedom it seems so great at first
But really it constricts you more
But once you get ahold of it
It becomes a hostage to your grip

Oh, it's great to be free, yeah
No more restrictions, no more limitations
Oh, it's so new to me, yeah
This great feeling, of my own controlling
