Tift Merritt I Know What I'm Looking For Now
Well, I got here early trying to decide
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide
From the light of day
Then a friend made me laugh, bought me a drink
I walked in this garden, started to think
What little I know is quick as a wink
But I?ve know a real long time
I know what I?m looking for now
I know what I?m looking for now
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
I know what I?m looking for now
Well, everyone?s looking, they?re not sure at what
Holding onto illusions like it?s all that they got
Putting a mystery where a mystery is not
Can you tell me why?
When you can light up a stranger just passing by
Start revolutions with the glint in your eye
And sing hallelujah with a breath or a sigh
And still know the way home
I know what I?m looking for now
I know what I?m looking for now
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
I know what I?m looking for now
All of these miles I?ve come
All of these dreams I?ve chased in my mind
All for something small and simple to find
Well, you did what you could, you meant what you said
You look like an angel so hold up your head
A little lost here that ain?t so bad
That ain?t the reason to cry
I know what I?m looking for now
I know what I?m looking for now
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
I know what I?m looking for now
