I might have been a singer who sailed around the world 
A gambler who wins millions and spent it all on girls
 I might have been a poet who walked upon the moon
 A scientist who'd tell the world I discovered something new 
 I might have loved a king Been the one to end a war
 A criminal who drank champagne and never could be caught  










But among your books Among your clothes Among the noise and fuss I've let it go 
 I can't stop and catch my breath  And look no further for happiness 
And I will not turn again 'cause my heart has found its home 
 Everyone I'll never meet and friends I won't now make 
The adventures that there could have been and the risks I'll never take 
But among your books Among your clothes Among the noise and fuss I've let it go  
I can't stop and catch my breath  And look no further for happiness 
And I will not turn again 'cause my heart has found its home
