Lyrics Dream Of Independence - Frida Hyvönen

Dream Of Independence

Oh, it’s my birthday again
Hip hip hooray, I’m fairly grown up now
I learned to keep my expectations low
And my standards high
I built my life around a dream of independence
I built my life around a dream of independence
But heaven knows I am a follower
Receptive and easily disturbed
You know I dodged a lot of bullets
Just by keeping my impulses curbed
Can I afford to let go now?
Flow like rivers do
Would you abuse my softness
If I showed it to you?
If I showed it to you
If I showed it to you
Another year begins
Happy new year, I’m so much wiser now
I ven learned to tak a decent look
Before I dive in
I built my life around a dream of independence
I built my life around a dream of independence
But honey, honey, I’m such a follower
Receptive and easily led
If you think I look powerful
What you see is the power of restraint
It’s not a room of one’s own
It’s a dam in the river
I’m exploiting my own nature
To make it in this world
Do you follow me, honey?
Do you follow me, babe?
Changing…
I’m changing… I’m changing… I’m changing…
