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, c'mon |
| 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 |
