now this life is a wonderful thing 

see the world, go a million miles 

faces come and go like the tide 

on a summer day, or a lonely night 

but everyone is telling you 

what to do with your life 

just escape and breathe free 

daydream of a girl I used to know 

so many memories have slipped away 

thinking a million thoughts an hour 

waiting for the waves to take me away 

they say somewhere is a path that's marked out just for you 

well I hope someday our paths will cross 

when I lie awake at night, I still see only you
