Top Of The World Lyrics - Storybook (amazon Exclusive) - 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
