All of the World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] New shoes, first day I sit in the way I stare at trees Hoping colors will change And fall on my feet We laugh and play It's great, first grade Lego bricks, it's nice being six Knowing all of the world All of the world is there A little older and taller now I look for the stars but they're blocked by the clouds And I stay up all night, just for a glimpse I read a book, put it pack on the shelf And stare out the window, it's hard being twelve Knowing all of the world All of the world is right out there [Chorus] So take me for what I'm worth Show me all of the Earth Beat me to the Sun and I won't mind When will I run out of time? [Verse 2] Good grades, good friends I play pretend Thinking I own all of the town when I don't But it's nice to dream The colors will fade It sucks, tenth grade People pick teams But the world's not as bad as it seems No, the world's not as bad as it seems [Chorus] So take me for what I'm worth I'm numb to the pain, so it won't hurt Beat me to the sun, I won't mind When will I run out of time? [Verse 3] A big house, ten-car garage A nice little hill and a nice little lodge Where I'll stay up all night and write when I'm bored I'll spend all day working on songs I'll write a verse, then I'll yell at the wall And I'll stay up real late Just to get right Just to get it right Just to get it right [Bridge] Pardon me Pardon me Pardon me [Chorus] So take me for what I'm worth I'm numb to this pain, it won't hurt Beat me to the sun, I'll be fine 'Cause I'll never run out of time [Outro] All is fine, all is fair I get a breath of fresh air Eighty-five looks good on me So it seemed Three kids, grandson on the way Sounds real nice Maybe one day I'll know all of the world All of the world Still care
