Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've still got pocket change
Some broken pieces of a piggy-bank
And a dream I said I needed
It got so heavy in time
I had to let it go and let it die
And now I should feel defeated
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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, the fountain of youth
It left me parched, left me confused
And afraid that I'd disappear
[Chorus]
Ooh, 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
[Bridge]
I see me rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
Down the old hill and it's rolling, rolling
Into the blue and it's open, wild, free
I see me running, running, running, running
My feet in the brook and it's running, running
Into the sea and it's open, wild, free
I see me free
I see you free
Out on the sea
[Verse 3]
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 cell I know so well
The windows are paintings where the stars never fall
[Outro]
But I think I'm ready for the sky now
My heart is a prisoner that'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
