I Slept...
Satisfied 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
