You need to let me go

You need to set me free

The world has everything I need

I need to fly

Like a paper plane

They're not always in control

But with someone stronger by their side

They build up power

They can glide

Some days get too much I want to shut down

But when I go in to overload it's no use

Sometimes it can be the littlest things that make me frown

But that's complicated, I run on a short fuse

You need to let me go

You need to set me free

The world has everything I need

I need to fly

Like a paper plane

They're not always in control

But with someone stronger by their side

They build up power

They can glide

You're the one who feeds me my strength

When all my energy runs out

You won't let me flat line

You know me better than that

Sometimes I wish I could sleep all day

When I know I won't be resting at night

Too many worries about letting go

I will when the time is right

You need to let me go

You need to set me free

The world has everything I need

I need to fly

Like a paper plane

They're not always in control

But with someone stronger by their side

They build up power

They can glide

But if it starts raining

Bring that aeroplane inside

Cause even the most carefree things

Need the love and attention to thrive.
