Lyrics: Lisa Loeb. Firecracker. Wishing Heart.

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 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
No, 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
No, that's not where I will start

I never kissed somebody
So that they would break my heart
That's not what I want

And 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
No, that's not where I will start

I never kissed somebody
So that they would break my heart
That's not what I want, no, no

No, if it doesn't brush my shoulder
And it doesn't beat my heart
That's not what I want
No, that's not where I will start

I never kissed somebody
So that they would break my heart
That's not what I want, no, no, no, no

If you don't know what you're missing
'Cause you don't know where to start
You don't know what you're missing
Follow your wishing heart
