Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've been thinking about the way my life turned out
How nothing's really gone the way I planned
How each blind curve
Each twist and turn brought me where I am now
And looking back I wouldn't trade them in
I had an image of the life in front of me
And how I was gonna build it on my own
But if I never lost the picture in my mind of who I'd be
I'd never get to see who I'd become
The world is full of extraordinary things
Somehow I never imagined a holiday at sea
I've been settling for mud pies and microscopic dreams
You want more for me
There's a freedom knowing I can't mess it up
And how every choice can somehow can be redeemed
So I pray for wisdom knowing with some faith I'll learn to see
There is no path you will not walk with me
The world is full of extraordinary things
Somehow I never imagined a holiday at sea
I've been settling for mud pies and microscopic dreams
You want more for me
What I hope for is far too weak
A single note in a symphony
I am far too easily pleased
You want more for me
You want more for me
You want more...
Oh, the world is full of extraordinary things
Somehow I never imagined a holiday at sea
I've been settling for mud pies and microscopic dreams
You want more for me
You want more for me
You want more for me
