Satisifed Life

I'm taking all my wishes and all of my desires
I'm putting them down on paper and I'm throwing them in the fire
Then I'll just walk away I don't need anything
Swear I'll be satisfied now with whatever this life brings

Whatever this life brings
I used to want everything
Whatever this life brings
I used to want everything
Now I'm settling
For whatever this life brings

I'm taking all your letters and a the the things I tried
The things that I did better and the things that I let slide
I'm watching them all go up in smoke they don't mean anything
God's little cosmic jokes and whatever this life brings

Whatever this life brings
I used to want everything
Whatever this life brings
I used to want everything
Now I'm settling
For whatever this life brings

I promise I'll be satisfied now
I swear I'll be a good girl
I know now I'll do everything everything I know how
To make this place a better world

So I'm taking all my mistakes and dark nights that I cried
All my dreams on this stage and the ways that I was tied
And I'm letting them go forever I won't keep anything
Baby it's now or never for whatever this life brings
