[Instrumental Intro] [Cowbell] (GOOO!!) [Verse 1] My world begins beside my bed, The sparrows always fly away. I count my footsteps straight ahead, And dream they'll take me there someday. The peeling paint makes little seas, The window keeps the clouds in view. I ask the breeze beyond the trees If there's enough to wander through. [Pre-Chorus] [Cowbell] They say the world's a funny place, Always changing, always wide. I close my eyes and try to build A little more of mine. (OF MINE!) [Chorus] If my world was bigger, I'd know somewhere new, I'd follow the birds till they vanished from view (LET ME FLYYYYY!!!) I'd learn every doorway and call it my home, Instead of imagining places I've known. [Verse 2] The hallway stretches long and gray, The picture smiles but never speaks. I hope it grows a step each day, So I can see what everyone seeks. They tell me, "Soon, you'll wander far," Like every child is meant to do. I wonder where those places are, And if they're waiting there for me too. [Pre-Chorus] [Cowbell] Sometimes I hear laughing voices, Far away but sounding near. I try to picture all their places— They're hard to fit in here. (IN HERE!) [Chorus] If my world was bigger, I'd know somewhere new, I'd follow the birds till they vanished from view (LET ME FLYYYYY!!!) I'd learn every doorway and call it my home, Instead of imagining places I've known. [Instrumental Break][cowbell] [Bridge] [Rap Verse] [cowbell] They keep saying, "Stay patient," but patience is paper, it tears every time that I fold it, I'm staring at walls till they're stories, recording the places I'm never allowed to get close with. I've built up a skyline from scratches and shadows, connected the dots in the cracks on the ceiling, Made kingdoms from corners where nobody looks, 'cause pretending was all I was given for healing. [cowbell] Every "maybe tomorrow" just circles the same little promise, then quietly fades into nothing, While I'm counting the footsteps, the heartbeats, the birds on the breeze, and convincing myself they're still coming. If the world's really waiting, then why does it feel like it's hiding behind every lock and every key? I've walked through a thousand imagined horizons already—the only one missing is the one in front of me. [Instrumental Build] (IN FRONT OF MEEE!) GOOOOOO!!! [Final Chorus] If my world gets bigger, I'll learn where to go (I WON'T LET GO!!!) I'll fill up the spaces I still do not know. I'll carry this little room deep in my heart, But maybe tomorrow's where living will start. If my world gets bigger, I'll finally see through, The stories they tell of the sky so blue (I CAN SEE IT NOW!!!) I'll learn every pathway and call it my own, Instead of pretending this room is the whole. [cowbell] Everyone says, "Wait a little." Maybe they're right after all. Maybe one day I'll wake up... And my world Won't fit inside these walls. BREAK!!! THESE!!! WAAAAALLS!!! [Outro]
