They tell me I'm a drifter, I've been 'travelin all my life
I've seen the Redrocks in Sedona to the dark Peruvian skies
Though a friend I can enjoy I prefer to be alone
I'm no good with liability in freedom I feel home
People and emotions, they say they're good for me
I don't agree, I don't agree
I don't care 'bout all your travels 'nor the things that you have seen
The most beautiful of places are the once you find within
When you talk about your freedom to me it sounds sad
Without someone there to share it with what do you have?
People an emotions, I know they're good for you
So let em through
Cause it burns burns burns to be loved an alive
Tender is a heart open wide
Oh it burns burns burns to be loved an alive
Hope tomorrow put your fences aside
They tell me "get perspective, move away from your hometown"
But I doubt there's a location more delightful to be found
An I'll never leave my job now when times are 'kinda tough
I'm wiping tables at the bar it's no dream but it's enough
Changing my direction, they say that I should try
I don't know why, I don't know why
Have you totally forgotten what you said when we were young?
But fears and obligations oh they got to you somehow
An all the dreams you held so dear are just illusions to you now
Changing your direction, you owe yourself a try
And you know why
Oh it burns burns burns...
Ooooh, I've had a way since I was younger to try to be like you
Ooooh, they say that people aren't changing do you believe we do
Oh it burns burns burns...
