Hey there, boy,
you got me thinking 'bout
those long hours I spent
just waiting 'round.
I can't spend
another day without
living my life now.
And hey there, boy,
you got me screaming out
loud and still the silence
is all around.
Can't I spend
another day without
living someone else's life.
I want to climb
the highest mountain.
Reach the peak
and let it all sink in.
Look down at the world
without blinking.
Just to see a million people
looking back at me.
I want to sail
the widest ocean.
Feel the air
and catch it in my hand.
Look up at the sky
without thinking.
Just to see a million thoughts
crash down on me.
I wanna breathe.
Hey there, boy,
you got me a little loud.
I can't stand the thought
of not living out
there where the world
spins around and around.
I gotta leap.
I gotta run.
I gotta drive.
I can't spend
another day not
living my life.
I want to climb
the highest mountain.
Reach the peak
and let it all sink in.
Look down at the world
without blinking.
Just to see a million people
looking back at me.
I want to sail
the widest ocean.
Feel the air
and catch it in my hand.
Look up at the sky
without thinking.
Just to see a million thoughts
crash down on me.
I wanna breathe.
Hey there, boy
you're making me
wanna breathe.
I gotta leap.
I gotta run.
I gotta drive.
I can't spend
another day not
living my life.
I gotta breathe.
