Freaking Out
September Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm freaking out
Yeah, yeah

I'm standing in the heart of nowhere,
Futility's forgotten soldier,
The days are getting dark and colder,
I don't know right from wrong,
Can't mend the things you haven't broken,
Can't close a door you've never opened,
I wish I hadn't been to weak to cry

I'm freaking out, now,
I'm dying for life,
I don't care if you say it ain't right,
I'm freaking out, now,
I'm claiming my time,
Come on, if you're ready or not,
I'm freaking out

I'm freaking out, yeah

I'm screaming at the operator,
Just acting now and thinking later,
I tell the world I love to hate her,
I need to get it out,
I'm solid as a trail of vapor,
As heavy as a piece of paper,
But finally I'm strong enough to cry

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm freaking out, now,
I'm dying for life,
I don't care if you say it ain't right,
I'm freaking out, now,
I'm claiming my time,
Come on, if you're ready or not,
I'm freaking out

I'm freaking out
Yeah, yeah

I think it's no good to be afraid,
Of all the mistakes that you wanna make,
I think it's no good to play it cool,
I'd rather be called a crying fool

I'm freaking out, now,
I'm dying for life,
I don't care if you say it ain't right,
I'm freaking out, now,
I'm claiming my time,
Come on

I'm freaking out, now,
I'm dying for life,
I don't care if you say it ain't right,
I'm freaking out, now,
I'm claiming my time,
Come on, if you're ready or not,
I'm freaking out

I'm freaking out
Yeah, yeah





I'm freaking out
