Wishing Heart lyrics

Lyrics

No teacher to follow, no prophet to tell me how
But I know what I want, I know what I want now
Like water, it rushes
It's the last thing you see when you close your eyes
It's the one place you want to be
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder, and it doesn't beat my heart
That's not what I want, that's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart
That's not what I want
If you don't know what you're missing
Cause you don't know where to start
Follow your wishing heart
I was restless, x4
I just want this to be good, x2
But you don't understand
You don't understand me, and I want to be understood
But if it doesn't brush my shoulder
And it doesn't beat my heart
That's not what I want - no, that's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart
That's not what I want
If we all leap before we crawl, we might fall
And it's not always candy spun from head to heart
And it's not always meant to be
And it's not always up to me
But if it doesn't brush my shoulders, and it doesn't beat my heart
That's not what I want, that's not where I will start
I never kissed somebody so that they would break my heart
That's not what I want
If you don't know what you're missing
'Cause you don't know where to start
You don't know what you're missing
Follow your wishing heart
