Laura Shigihara - Wish My Life Away (Finding Paradise)

[00:02.89] "Wish my life away" (from the Finding Paradise Soundtrack)

[00:05.89] by Laura Shigihara

[00:07.90] I never stood up very tall

[00:19.64] I think my voice was fairly small

[00:26.89] But there were times I'd wanna to shout

[00:33.89] Though my thoughts weren't sorted out

[00:37.14] So I'd stumble and I'd fall

[00:41.89] I learned to fly because of you

[00:47.64] So if you left, I could go too

[00:55.39] And everything you saw in me

[01:01.39] That's what I wanted to be

[01:04.39] Did I make it after all?

[01:09.89] All the grass on the other side

[01:16.89] Is it only greener in my mind?

[01:23.39] I'd still want it the same

[01:27.65] Because trading my yesterday

[01:31.89] Is to wish my life away

[01:43.39] As we dream and as we grow

[01:58.14] We have to learn to let things go

[02:05.64] But let the wonder never fade

[02:11.14] Though we've turned 10,000 pages

[02:15.14] Flying high or stuck below

[02:20.64] I've searched for meaning amidst doubt

[02:27.14] I've finally figured that part out

[02:32.39] And all the stories inside me

[02:39.14] Feels like I'm bursting at the seams

[02:43.14] And you're here after all

[02:48.39] All the grass on the other side

[02:54.39] Is it only greener in my mind?

[03:01.64] I'd still want it the same

[03:05.64] Because trading my yesterday

[03:10.89] Is to wish my life away
