Map of the World |
Watching the people on the street today she couldn’t help but smile |
Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis |
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit |
This is the day she walks away |
And the lights of the city pushin' a good time |
Asking her out tonight |
But she’s saving her money for a better life |
She’s got a map of the world |
Pinned up on her wall |
She’s got a map of the world |
She’s gonna go and see it all |
She’s gonna see it all |
Watchin the people on the street today |
Such a lonely sight |
'swore she could see their dreams go by |
All cars and stars and buy buy buy |
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still |
No time for their own lives |
Sleepwalking through the danger signs |
And it feels a little scary |
A little runaway |
Letting go of all she’s done |
And the lights of the city, well they’re all singin' |
Buy some of this, cmon |
But when you lie to yourself |
You lie to everyone |
She’s got a map of the world |
Pinned up on her wall |
She’s got a map of the world |
She’s gonna go and see it all |
She’s gonna see it all |
She’ll empty the sand from her shoes |
In paradise |
Sail out across the bay |
She’ll dance under an island sky |
Until the break of day |
She’s got a map of the world |
Pinned up on her wall |
It’s such a beautiful world |
Glistening and magical |
She’s got a map of the world |
Shining away in her mind |
Colouring-in her life |
This is the day she walks |
She’s gonna see it all |
She’s gonna breathe it all |
Paris london new york |
She’s gonna see it all |
