  • I want to live life
    Never be cruel
    I want to live life
    Be good to you

    I want to fly
    And never come down
    And live my life
    And have friends around

    We never change do we, no, no
    We never learn do we

    So I want to live in a wooden house
    I want to live life always be true
    I want to live life and be good to you

    I want to fly and never come down
    And live my life
    And have friends around

    We never change do we
    No no
    We never learn do we

    So I want to live in a wooden house
    Where making more friends would be easy

    Oh and I don't have a soul to save
    Yes and I sin every single day

    We never change do we
    We never learn do we

    So I want to live in a wooden house
    Where making more friends would be easy
    I want to live where the sun comes out Writer/s: Christopher Anthony John Martin, Guy Rupert Berryman, Jonathan Mark Buckland, William Champion

  • Dea Lia from Bucuresti, RomaniaIt's symbolic, obviously. The most interesting part of this song is in my opinion the fact that humbleness ("wooden house") makes it easier of us to make friends: "where making more friends would be easy".
  • Hanna from Steamboat, CoI think this is about someone who has nothing, but wants only the simple things.. "I wanna live in a wooden house, where making friends would be more easy, I wanna live where the sun comes out." I mean, these are the simple things we should all be grateful for in this world. What more should we need than a roof over our heads, good friends, and a little bit of sunshine?
  • Dortez from Mesa, AzThats pretty much what i figured it meant. But i didnt really understand the "wooden house" is. I mean is it symbolic or just literal.
