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, 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 you don't know what you're missing
'cause you don't know where to start
Follow your wishing heart
I was restless, I was restless
I was restless, I was restless
I just want this to be good
I just want this to be good
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 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 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
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, 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 you don't know what you're missing
'cause you don't know where to start
Follow your wishing heart
I was restless, I was restless
I was restless, I was restless
I just want this to be good
I just want this to be good
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

And it's not always candy

And it's not always meant to be
And it's not always up to me

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
