Top Of The World Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Patty Griffin

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 sinners that ain't gonna be heard 

Disppearing every day without so much as a word somehow 

I'm afraid I broke the wings off that 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 

CHORUS 

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 in 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 somehow 

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
