Wanna be

(Verse 1)

I wanna be a firefighter, strong and bold,

Running through the flames, never doing what I’m told.

I wanna be the thunder breaking through the night,

Screaming in the silence till I see the light.

I wanna be a rockstar, famous and cool,

Making hits while the girls all drool.

I wanna play loud, I wanna play raw,

Get lost in the sound, defy every law.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m chasing ghosts in a neon dream,

Half awake in a movie scene.

My heart’s a fuse, my mind’s on hold,

Burning out just to feel the gold.

(Chorus)

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be young,

I wanna be old,

I wanna rule the world, I wanna be in control.

I wanna lose control,

I wanna break free, I wanna be caged —

I wanna feel it all before I fade.

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be me,

And everyone I’ll never be.

(Verse 2)

I wanna be a poet with a razor tongue,

Bleed my truth in every song.

I wanna be the villain, the hero, the myth,

The sinner, the saint, the edge of a cliff.

I wanna be the whisper in your ear,

The reason you run, the reason you fear.

I wanna be love, I wanna be pain,

The lightning strike in the pouring rain.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m losing sleep to the sound of dreams,

Caught between the cracks and the silver beams.

My soul’s on fire, my story untold,

Trading my heart for a shot at gold.

(Chorus)

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be young,

I wanna be old,

I wanna rule the world, I wanna be in control.

I wanna lose control,

I wanna break free, I wanna be caged —

I wanna feel it all before I fade.

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be me,

And everyone I’ll never be.

(Bridge – slow, moody synth drop)

One foot in the light, one hand in the grave,

Every dream I chase, every soul I save.

If I fall, let me fall in flames,

If I rise, let me rise in chains.

(Final Chorus)

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be young,

I wanna be old,

I wanna rule the world, I wanna be in control.

I wanna lose control,

I wanna break free, I wanna be caged —

I wanna feel it all before I fade.

Yeah I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be me,

And everyone I’ll never be.

(Outro – echoing vocals, fading synth bass)

Yeah I wanna…

Yeah I wanna…

I wanna be…
