I Wish I Was Free

I wish I was free but I'm stuck in this seat
With my long plaid skirt and socks up to the knee
Learning about latin and geometry
But there's so many places I'd rather be

I wish I was on a plane, a cute boy in the seat next to me
He would tell me about where he's from and places he's seen
While I smiled and listened contentedly

I wish I was on a boat, the ocean beneath my feet
My face in the sun, my hands in the breeze
A sailor would tell me old fishermen's tales
While I looked out and saw the majestic whales

I wish I was on a mountain with no one around
Just me and my feelings, free to scream out loud
My desire to leave and see things of every kind
My need for a way to leave this world behind

But I met this boy, I don't know his name
He has a pickup truck and a smile on his face
Says he'll take me for a ride, show me the sights
Let me run wild, I'll be free by tonight
