Map Of The World Lyrics

Watching the people on the street today
She couldn't help but smile
Watchin' the town go walking by
All shaded eyes and alibisStrange how much pain you can hide away
Beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks awayAnd the lights of the city pushin' a good time
Asking her out tonight
But she's saving her money for a better lifeShe'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 allWatchin' 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, buyRunnin' on empty runnin' to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signsAnd 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, c'mon, but when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyoneShe'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 allShe'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 dayShe's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
It's such a beautiful world
Glistening and magicalShe's got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Coloring-in her lifeThis 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
