Top Of The World - Kasey Chambers

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
