Lyrics

⸻


[Verse 1]
I’d like to ride a train through Carolina,
See the sun sink low behind the pines.
I’d like to dance in a field in Montana,
Lose track of hours, forget the time.

I’d like to taste the wine in California,
Hear old stories in a Dublin bar.
Watch the northern lights in late November,
Feel how small we really are.

[Chorus]
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Feel the wind that knows no name.
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Set my heart loose on the plain.
This world’s so wide, this life so short,
There’s more to dream than we’ve been taught.
So I’d like to—yeah, I’d like to.
Before I’m gone, I’d like a lot.

[Verse 2]
I’d like to climb a peak in Colorado,
Sing out loud where no one hears.
Sit real still in a jungle shadow,
Let the silence calm my fears.

I’d like to kiss my love in every country,
Laugh with strangers on a midnight train.
Feel the magic in the mundane moments,
Like dancing barefoot in the rain.

[Chorus]
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Learn the rhythm of the road.
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Let go of what I think I know.
The map’s not drawn, the path’s not straight,
But I’ve got dreams I just can’t shake.
So I’d like to—yeah, I’d like to.
Before I fade, I’d like to wake.

[Bridge]
I don’t need gold, I don’t need glory,
Just a sunrise I ain’t seen.
A hand to hold, a few good stories,
And a sky that makes me dream.

[Final Chorus]
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Feel the stars breathe over me.
I’d like to, I’d like to—
Let my soul run wild and free.
This heart’s been made for open skies,
For saying yes and asking why.
So I’d like to—yeah, I’d like to.
Before I go, I’d like to try.
