Melanie Dyer - Fences

When you're young you don't understand them
When you're young they're in your way
Just a bunch a wood standing tall and blocking your escape
Then one day you're swinging for them
Every chance you get
Thinking one day you'll be strong enough to hit one over it
All these fences always getting in way
My heart's a wild one needs wide open freedom and somewhere to run with the wind
Got dreams you can't keep in can't lock them away and there's no sense in fencing me in Then you're sixteen and you're sneaking
Out to his car at midnight
Yeah you hold your breath and jump that fence and try to keep it quiet
Always wondered what was on the other side
My heart's a wild one needs wide open freedom and somewhere to run with the wind
Got dreams you can't keep in can't lock them away and there's no sense in fencing me in
Maybe someday I'll find myself with a white picket fence wrapped right around me
And it might make me happy
But my heart's a wild one needs wide open freedom and somewhere to run with the wind
Got dreams you can't keep in can't lock them away and there's no sense in fencing me in
There ain't no sense in fencing
No sense in fencing me in
