You walk, I'll run, and follow right behind you
You call, I'll come, and I won't remember where I come from
Over there, at the end of the bar
This fish keeps swimming in a jar

I feel a tug on the line
Which end will I be on this time?

[Chorus]
Don't box me in
One day I'll show them just what I'm made of

There'll be a time when I won't remember what I was afraid of
And I'll be swimming in the sea, no banging on this glass for me
My eyes turned red when my life turned blue
So I'm leaving everything, that's true

And I'll jump into a brand new skin
and then you won't be able to box me in

[Chorus]

Let go
There's a few places 'round that I've never been
There's an ocean out there that I gotta swim
There's a river out there that flows past my door
I wonder...I wonder... What?

And if sometimes I can't seem to talk
You'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk
Don't box me in,
I told you not to

Don't box me in
Let go
