I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world

A gambler who wins milions
And spent it all on girls

I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon

A scientist who would tell the world
I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
Been the one to enter war

A criminal who drinks champain
And never could be caught

But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss
I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further, for hapiness
And I will not turn again
Cause my heart, has found it's home

Everyone I'll never meet
And the friends I wont now make
The adventures that they could have been
And the risks I'll never take

But among your books...

I can't stop and catch my breath...
