Wishing Well

I wish I could sleep in a bed with soft sheets

And I wish I could wake kissing all of your teeth

I wish I could see normal things and be fine

And my days could feel less like a moment to pine

Like my days could feel less like I barely arrived

Like my heart could feel glad that Im even alive

I wish that I could hear a faint noise

And not wonder if you’re coming back with my voice

I wish my heart was worth more than pennies to you

And then maybe I could have had my wish come true

But a wish is a wish, and a prayer is a prayer

And sometimes it’s just hard to find a breath of air

I wish I could tell you how awful you are

And I hope that I never do, even in gall

I wish you never turn back 'juste pour voir'

I just wish that our love could have been at all

And I wish more than anybody that I know

And at times I just pray not to wish anymore

And I wish every night that you make it home

Though at this point I’m sure you’re not sleeping alone

I wish that you even knew where your home was

Not with me, not with him, not just drunk because

And I hope that my prayers are keeping you fine

While I sit here at home and try not to pine

I wish to a god that I’m not sure exists

That despite my own pain, you know that your missed

And I wish that you knew just how bad it feels

To lose the one you love, to lose everything real

But I don’t wish it hard because that would be

Against all of the wishes for you to be free

I just wish and I wish and I hope and I pray

That you find that damn balance that shows you the way

That you find that damn balance that tears us apart

That the scales that your using aren’t loaded and scared

But a wish isn’t real and neither were we

It’s just taken me longer then now just to see

And sometimes its just hard not to change your mind

And sometimes its just harder not to change mine

But a prayer is a prayer, and a wish is a wish

And honest, I dont have more pennies for this

So Ill leave here in sorrow while my soul solemn pleads…

That somewhere

you’re asleep

in a bed

with soft sheets.
