Comments:
Similar to Vivian's epiphany in "Anywhere But Here", this is the moment when Edward decides to reconsider his life choices and make some changes.
Lyrics:

WHAT A STRANGE NIGHT
AND YET IT FEELS RIGHT
HOW WAS I TO KNOW
SHE WOULD SHOW ME
WHO I COULD REALLY BE
I CAN'T KEEP HOLDING ON
I'VE GOTTA LET IT GO

WAS THAT FREEDOM - FREEDOM?
WHEN WE WERE DANCIN' ON THE FLOOR
I FELT FREEDOM - SWEET FREEDOM
LIKE I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE
AND I KNOW THAT I NEED MORE

MEETING BIG WHEELS - MAKIN' BIG DEALS
IT'S ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN
IN THE BOARDROOM WITH A SILVER SPOON
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I NEED
BUT SOMEHOW I'M STILL ALONE

GIVE ME FREEDOM - FREEDOM
IT CAN ALL BE REARRANGED
I NEED FREEDOM - SWEET FREEDOM
AND I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE
I BELIEVE THAT I CAN CHANGE

AND WHEN I LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
I CAN SEE ANOTHER ME - AND I'M FREE
I'VE GOT AN UNFAMILIAR FEELING NOW
AND IT'S FLOWIN' OVER ME

SHOULD I COME CLEAN - WHAT I REALLY MEAN IS
I THINK I NEED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
TOOK SOME WRONG TURNS
BUT I CAN STILL LEARN
IF I TRY A NEW DIRECTION
I HAVE A FEELING I JUST MIGHT

FIND SOME FREEDOM - FREEDOM
IF I COULD DO IT ALL AGAIN
I'D WANT FREEDOM - SWEET FREEDOM
AND I KNOW IT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE
I BELIEVE THAT I CAN CHANGE

I BELIEVE THAT I CAN CHANGE
