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...
