Watching the people on the street today she couldnt 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 shes saving her money for a better life Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Shes got a map of the world Shes gonna go and see it all Shes 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 shes done And the lights of the city, well theyre all singin Buy some of this, cmon But when you lie to yourself You lie to everyone Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Shes got a map of the world Shes gonna go and see it all Shes gonna see it all Shell empty the sand from her shoes In paradise Sail out across the bay Shell dance under an island sky Until the break of day Shes got a map of the world Pinned up on her wall Its such a beautiful world Glistening and magical Shes got a map of the world Shining away in her mind Colouring-in her life This is the day she walks Shes gonna see it all Shes gonna breathe it all Paris london new york Shes gonna see it all
