Story behind the song
Written after I had my first baby...I wanted a road map for her to follow.
Lyrics
I WANNA LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES
I WANNA GIVE BACK WHAT I TAKE
I WANNA BE THERE FOR MY FRIENDS
I WANNA ALWAYS MAKE AMENDS
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
I WANNA LAUGH RIGHT OUT LOUD
I WANNA MAKE MY MAMA PROUD
I WANNA HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CRY
I WANNA ALWAYS WONDER WHY
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
I WANNA LIVE THAT WAY
I DON’T WANNA BE AFRAID
I WANNA LOVE LIKE THAT
CHERISH (TREASURE) EVERY DAY
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
I WANNA BE HEARD WHEN I PRAY
I WANNA SLOW DANCE IN THE RAIN
I WANNA LOVE AND BE LOVED BACK
LOSE MY WAY WITHOUT A MAP
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
I WANNA WALK WHERE THINGS GROW WILD
I WANNA SEE MY BABY SMILE
I WANNA GROW OLD GRACEFULLY
GATHER SHELLS BESIDE THE SEA
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
I WANNA LIVE THAT WAY
I DON’T WANNA BE AFRAID
I WANNA LOVE LIKE THAT
CHERISH EVERY DAY
WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE
I WANNA LIVE LIKE THAT
