I might have been a singer who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions and spent it all on girls
I might have been a poet who walked upon the moon
A scientist who'd tell the world I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
Been the one to end a war
A criminal who drank champagne 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 happiness
And I will not turn again 'cause my heart has found its home

Everyone I'll never meet and the friends I won't now make
The adventures that there could have been and the risks I'll never take
But among your books
Among your clothes
Among your noise and fuss I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breath
And look no further for happiness
And I will not turn again 'cause my heart has found its home
