All of the World

[Verse 1]
New shoes, first day
I sit in the way
I stare at trees
Hoping colors will change
And fall on my feet
We laugh and play
It's great, first grade
Lego bricks, it's nice being six
Knowing all of the world
All of the world is there

A little older and taller now
I look for the stars but they're blocked by the clouds
And I stay up all night, just for a glimpse
I read a book, put it pack on the shelf
And stare out the window, it's hard being twelve
Knowing all of the world
All of the world is right out there

[Chorus]
So take me for what I'm worth
Show me all of the Earth
Beat me to the Sun and I won't mind
When will I run out of time?

[Verse 2]
Good grades, good friends
I play pretend
Thinking I own all of the town when I don't
But it's nice to dream
The colors will fade
It sucks, tenth grade
People pick teams
But the world's not as bad as it seems
No, the world's not as bad as it seems

[Chorus]
So take me for what I'm worth
I'm numb to the pain, so it won't hurt
Beat me to the sun, I won't mind
When will I run out of time?

[Verse 3]
A big house, ten-car garage
A nice little hill and a nice little lodge
Where I'll stay up all night and write when I'm bored
I'll spend all day working on songs
I'll write a verse, then I'll yell at the wall
And I'll stay up real late
Just to get right
Just to get it right
Just to get it right

[Bridge]
Pardon me
Pardon me
Pardon me

[Chorus]
So take me for what I'm worth
I'm numb to this pain, it won't hurt
Beat me to the sun, I'll be fine
'Cause I'll never run out of time

[Outro]
All is fine, all is fair
I get a breath of fresh air
Eighty-five looks good on me
So it seemed
Three kids, grandson on the way
Sounds real nice
Maybe one day I'll know all of the world
All of the world
Still care
