[It isn’t what I wanted
It isn’t what I had in mind] 2x
But it’s all right, it’ll do for now
It’s a way to pass the time
And if by chance our eyes should meet
Don’t pretend that you are blind
[It isn’t what I wanted
It isn’t what I had in mind] 2x

[You can go down to the water
Or you can climb up on the hill] 2x
There’s nothin’ nowhere else that ain’t right here
But then nothin’s gonna keep you still
You ain’t got where you’re goin’ yet
And I doubt you ever will

Chorus
Seems like you hardly open your eyes
Before they start turning out the lights
But then there’s hardly a day goes by
You don’t feel just like you might
Take two steps toward the wind
And go sailin’ off in flight

(Repeat first verse)

Chorus

[It isn’t what I wanted
It isn’t what I had in mind] 3x
