"Top Of The World (Live)" lyrics

"Top Of The World (Live)"
(originally by Patty Griffin)

This is called "Top of the world"
I'm glad the current's going away, I was really close
I'm really sorry (I love you, Kelly)
Sorry, do you like this moment?

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way 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
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing
That'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
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of your questions
I don't have no God to
Teach me no lessons

I come home in the evening
I 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's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Right now

Well, I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world

I wished I'd had known you
I wished I had shown you
All of the things I
I was on the inside

But 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 everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow

I'm 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

Whoa, whoa
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
