Jason Howland, Sutton Foster - Astonishing lyrics
[Jason Howland, Sutton Foster - Astonishing lyrics]
Who is he, who is he with his "marry me"?
With his ring and his "marry me"?
The nerve, the gall!
This is not, not what was meant to be
How could he ruin it all
With those two words
I thought I knew him thought that he knew me
When did it change what did I miss
A kiss when I thought all along
That we were meant to forge frontiers
How could I be so wrong
And I need how I need my sisters here
If I can't share my dreams
What were they for?
I thought our promise
That we would never change and never part
I thought together we'd amaze the world
How can I live my dreams or even start
When everything has come apart
I thought home was all I'd ever want
My attic all I'd ever need
Now nothing feels the way it was before
And I don't know how to proceed
I only know I'm meant for something more
I've got to know if I can be astonishing
There's a life that I am meant to lead
A life like nothing I have known
I can feel it and it's far from here
I've got to find it on my own
Even now I feel it's heat upon my skin
A life of passion that pulls me from within
A life that I am aching to begin
There must be somewhere I can be astonishing
Astonishing
I'll find my way i'll find it far away
I'll find it in unexpected and unknown
I'll find my life in my own way, today
Here I go, and there's no turning back
My great adventure has begun
I may be small but I've got giant plans
To shine as brightly as the sun
I will blaze until I find my time and place
I will be fearless
Surrendering modesty and grace
I will not disappear without a trace
I'll shout and start a riot
Be anything but quiet
Christopher Columbus! I'll be astonishing
Astonishing astonishing at last
With his ring and his "marry me"?
The nerve, the gall!
This is not, not what was meant to be
How could he ruin it all
With those two words
I thought I knew him thought that he knew me
When did it change what did I miss
A kiss when I thought all along
That we were meant to forge frontiers
How could I be so wrong
And I need how I need my sisters here
If I can't share my dreams
What were they for?
I thought our promise
That we would never change and never part
I thought together we'd amaze the world
How can I live my dreams or even start
When everything has come apart
I thought home was all I'd ever want
My attic all I'd ever need
Now nothing feels the way it was before
And I don't know how to proceed
I only know I'm meant for something more
I've got to know if I can be astonishing
There's a life that I am meant to lead
A life like nothing I have known
I can feel it and it's far from here
I've got to find it on my own
Even now I feel it's heat upon my skin
A life of passion that pulls me from within
A life that I am aching to begin
There must be somewhere I can be astonishing
Astonishing
I'll find my way i'll find it far away
I'll find it in unexpected and unknown
I'll find my life in my own way, today
Here I go, and there's no turning back
My great adventure has begun

Surrendering modesty and grace
I will not disappear without a trace
I'll shout and start a riot
Be anything but quiet
Christopher Columbus! I'll be astonishing
Astonishing astonishing at last
