I WISHED I WAS SMARTER
I WISHED I WAS STRONGER
I WISHED I LOVED JESUS
THE WAY 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 SINGIN'
THAT'S NEVER GONNA BE HEARD
DISAPPEARIN' EVERY DAY
WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WORD
SOMEHOW...
THINK I BROKE THE WINGS
OFF THAT LITTLE SONGBIRD
SHE'S NEVER GONNA FLY
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
RIGHT NOW...
TOP OF THE WORLD
I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER
ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS
DON'T HAVE NO GOD TO
TEACH ME NO LESSONS
I COME HOME IN THE EVENIN'
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 SINGIN'
THAT'S NEVER GONNA BE HEARD
DISAPPEARIN' EVERY DAY
WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WORD
SOMEHOW...
THINK I BROKE THE WINGS
OFF THAT LITTLE SONGBIRD
SHE'S NEVER GONNA FLY
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
RIGHT NOW...
I WISHED I'D KNOWN YOU
WISHED I'D A-SHOWN YOU
ALL OF THE THINGS I
WAS ON THE INSIDE
I'D PRETEND TO BE SLEEPIN'
WHEN YOU'D COME IN
IN THE MORNIN'
TO WHISPER GOODBYE
GO TO WORK IN THE RAIN
I DON'T KNOW WHY
DON'T KNOW WHY
'CAUSE EVERYONE IS SINGIN'
WE JUST WANNA BE HEARD
DISAPPEARING EVERY DAY
WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WORD
SOMEHOW...
WANNA GRAB A HOLD
OF THAT LITTLE SONGBIRD
TAKE HER FOR A RIDE
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
RIGHT NOW
WOAH... WOAH...
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD.....
