I know that I am meant for this world

I belong somewhere. Not like a real belonging, like a predetermined life or a higher intelligence. No, when I think about things I like I feel I should be out somewhere doing them. 
I always feel out of place when I look out the window. I look out and see the same scene everyday and I hate it. 
I see the same tiny corner of the world every single day and I wish I could be out in it instead of looking at it. 
And I am happy to say that nothing is out of my reach, at least not the things I want to do. 
I love this song so much, it's beautiful. 
I fear that I'm ordinary 
Just like everyone 

To lie here and die among the sorrows 
Drift among the days 

For everything I ever said 
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead 
As all things must surely have to end 
And great lovers will one day have to part 
I know that I am meant for this world 

My life has been extraordinary 
Blessed and cursed and won 

Time heals but I'm forever broken 
By and by the way... 
Have you ever heard the words 
I'm singing in these songs? 

It's for the girl I've loved all along 
Can a taste of love be so wrong? 
As all things must surely have to end 
And great lovers will one day have to part 
I know that I am meant for this world 

And in my mind as I was floating 
Far above the clouds 
Some children laughed 
I'd fall for certain 
For thinking that I'd last 
Forever 

But I knew exactly where I was 
And I knew the meaning of it all 
And I knew the distance to the sun 
And I knew the echo that is love 
And I knew the secrets in your spires 
And I knew the emptiness of youth 
And I knew the solitude of heart 
And I knew the murmurs of the soul 

And the world is drawn into your hands 
And the world is etched upon your heart 
And the world so hard to understand 
Is the world you can't live without 

And I knew the silence of the world...
