Lyrics
Never wanted this house, but the market was good
Isn't that what the grown-ups do, you lay down some roots
Bind a restless heart to a mortgage check
And count the ten thousand little deaths
Fourteen years on a hampster wheel
Island sinking, the devil's deal
CHORUS:
Gonna raise my sail and answer winds of change
Wherever they blow, that's where I'll go
Gonna raise my sail, let destiny prevail
The heading may be a surprise to me
But I'll raise my sail, raise my sail
Always thought by this age, that I'd I've the life
Of husband and father, or at least have the wife
Hoping and praying that someday I'd find The One
Time to toss out the story book and have me some fun
Fourteen years on a hampster wheel
Island sinking, the devil's deal
Chorus
BRIDGE
No I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
To the heart of the seeker I've always been
