Well, I got here early trying to decide
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide from the light of day.
Then a friend made me laugh, bought me a drink,
I walked in this garden and I started to think,
What little I know is quick as a wink but Ive know a real long time.
I know what Im looking for now. I know what Im looking for now.
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down.
I know what Im looking for now.
Everyones looking, theyre not sure at what,
Holding onto illusions like its all that they got,
Putting a mystery where a mystery is not,
Can you tell me why?
When you can light up a stranger just passing by,
Start revolutions with the glint in your eye,
Sing Hallelujah with a breath or a sigh
And still know the way home.
I know what Im looking for now. I know what Im looking for now.
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down.
I know what Im looking for now.
All of these miles Ive come,
All of these dreams Ive chased in my mind,
All for something small and simple to find.
So you did what you could, you meant what you said,
You look like an angel so hold up your head,
A little lost here aint so bad.
That aint the reason to cry.
I know what Im looking for now. I know what Im looking for now.
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down.
I know what Im looking for now.
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide from the light of day.
