Finally Free
Kari Kimmel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Letting it all out
Finally
No longer scared
I'm taking a chance
Letting go of my fears
But you gave me
A reason to fall
Showed me how to love
And made me break down my walls
Now I'm finally free
Are you ready for me
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I've given it all
Now I'm ready to fall
Oh I want to, I want to, I want to
Do do do
Do do do
La la la
La la la
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do
La la la
La la la
La la la la
I'm giving up secrets
Following my dreams
For the first time
I'm taking a risk
Oh I don't wanna miss
Anything tonight
I was stuck here
Then you saved me
Brought me to life
Yeah you broke me
Now I'm ready
Everything feels right
Now I'm finally free
Are you ready for me
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I've given it all
Now I'm ready to fall
Oh I want to, I want to, I want to
Free falling I'm jumping off
This is so unlike me
I don't wanna miss anything
I would rather take a chance
I'm finally free
Are you ready for me
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I've given it all
Now I'm ready to fall
Oh I want to, I want to, I want to
I'm finally free
Are you ready for me
'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you
I've given it all
Now I'm ready to fall
Oh I want to, I want to, I want to
Do do do
Do do do
La la la
La la la
Do do do do
Do do do
Do do do
La la la
La la la
La la la la
