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, 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, 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, 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
If you don't know what you're missing,
Follow your wishing heart
