Drowning In Nostalgia

The fire started at the 4 in the morning
Dawning on his daddy cigarette burning low
He still hearing the sound trying to get out of the house that never felt like a home
You bring up the memories, he still stuck at seventeen
And leaving work in the evening to start drinking for a reason that he already knows

Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

He met her under the mountains of Montana
By the summer they all went up in smoke
He said we're better together, but all these embers seem to follow me wherever I go
Dumb luck at twenty-three, don't change the history
He was watching the shimmer out on the river saying maybe this is my way home

Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh


Said I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams
It's all that I see fallen
When I can't go to sleep
Feels like I'm drowning in nostalgia
And I just wanna breathe
I wanna be free, darling
Like I feel in my dreams

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
