Kasey Chambers - Top Of The World lyrics

I wished I was smarter Wished I was stronger I wished I loved jesus The way the my wife does I wished it'd been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could've stood Where you would've been proud That won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing That ain't gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word Somehow I think I broke the wings Off a little songbird And she's never gonna fly To the top of the world How To the top of the world I don't have to answer Any of these questions Don't have no guide to Teach me no lessons I come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there In my chair There's a whole lot of singing That ain't gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word Somehow I think I broke the wings Off a little songbird And she's never gonna fly To the top of the world How To the top of the world I wished I'd had known you Wished I had shown you All of the things I Was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in in the morning To whisper goodbye Go work at the rain I don't know why Don't know why Cause everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word So how? Gonna grab a hold Of that little songbird And take her for a ride To the top of the world Right now To the top of the world
