Things I Thought I Needed

I've still got pocket change Some broken pieces of a piggy bank and a dream I said I need it, it got so heavy in time I had to let it go and let it die And now I should feel defeated, ooh But I feel a little bit lighter My heart feels a little bit wider As I throw another one, I'll throw it out into the sea Of all the things I thought I needed I found another line The pigment fades, the gray appears And I'm dying a little more every year And it was just a mirage, a fountain of Yee That left me parched, left me confused And afraid that I'd disappear, oh But I feel a little more alive now My heart and all the rough parts are smoothing out As I throw another one, I'll throw it out into the sea Of all the things I thought I needed I see me rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling Down the old hill and it's golden, golden Into the blue and it's open, wild, free Yeah, see me running, running, running, running My feet in the broken, it's running, running Into the sea and it's open, wild, free Yeah, see me free I see you free Out on the sea I say "I'm sorry" a lot And I'm tracing it back to where I got the notion I'm supposed to just carry it all It felt safe to be small And guilt is a sell I know so well The windows are paintings where the stars never fall, oh But I think I'm ready for the sky now My heart is a prisoner and it's breaking out And I'll throw another one, I'll throw another I'll throw another one, I'll throw another I'll throw another one, I'll throw it out into the sea Of all the things I thought I needed
