Top of the World - Jay Brannan
I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus the way my wife does
I wished it would been easier instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would've been proud
That won't happen now won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing it's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world
Now
I don't have to answer any of these questions
I 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 I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair
There's a whole lot of singing it's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow
I think I broke the wings off a little songbird
She's never gonna make to the top of the world
Now
I wished I'd had known you wished I would had shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping when you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye go to work in the rain
I don't know why don't know why
'Cause everybody singing we all wanna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow
I wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
Now
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
