Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Isn't truth supposed to set you free?

Well, why do I feel so weighed down by it?

If I could show them everything I've seen

Open their eyes to all the lies then

Would they change their minds like I did?

[Verse 2]

But when I speak, they tell me, "Sit down"

But how can I when I've already started runnin'?

Oh, this is where we've been, but it's not where we belong

And I may be young, but I know I'm not wrong

[PreChorus]

So I look up at the stars to guide me

And throw caution to every warning sign

If knowing what it could be is what drives me

Then let me be the first to stand in line

[Chorus]

So, I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

So, I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

[Bridge]

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-ah

More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 3]

I never knew I needed room to grow

Yeah, I did what I was told when someone told me, "No"

Now I've got all of this freedom in my bones

But I've still got the lid on, so it doesn't overflow

[Verse 4]

'Cause I've got reservations and hesitations

On where I should even begin

I'm past dipping my toes in

But I'm not, no, I'm not past diving in

If I could just be pointed in any given direction

On where to go and what to do

My legs are shaking, but my head's held high

The way you always taught me to

[PreChorus]

So I look up at the stars to guide me

And throw caution to every warning sign

I'm sure there will be challenges that find me

But I can take them on one at a time

[Chorus]

So, I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

So, I make this wish

To have something more for us than this

[Bridge]

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (So, I make this wish)

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah-ah-ah (To have something more)

More than this, oh-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Outro]

So, I make this wish

To have something more for us than this
