I Wish
I could map these stars til they shoot out the sky
I could cast my coins in wells to pile a mountain high
I could blow out candles to save my life from shambles
I'll try
I prayed for you
I waited for you
I longed for you to make my dreams come true
I hoped for you
I wished for you
I have wanted you to make my life feel brand new
Ooh and I wish and I wish
I wish
Traverse the universe on pins and needles
Collecting scarab beetle shells
Peek into the universe with hope to see where angels dwell
One never plans to fail, but the travail of rebirth is hell on earth
We feel the labor pains beneath our skin and skirts
Imagine being so desperate to
Break free from human chains
It hurts
We try tremendously to put our plans to work
Dig wells in the dirt, then cast our change into infinity
Longing and wishing, hoping and desiring
Our fate will meet good fortune for the future we're admiring
Until we're elevated with higher beings truly overseeing, without perspiring
Sweat it out
Get it out
Press hard, then let it out
Press hard, then let it out
I wished for you
I wrote it out
I practiced lucid dreaming just to see you every evening
Your form arrives
Before my eyes
But made of memories
My mind can't make you like the real thing
Lyrics of longing blacken out these pages,
At a loss for what to do, the greatest question of the ages, I'm
Reading through tea leaves
Over chats with seers and sages
Just to divinate the truest route to you through all the mazes
There's no genie in a lamp
No lamp to rub
No wishbones to break
I feel, out of luck
Fresh, out of luck
There's no genie in a lamp
No lamp to rub
No wishbones to break
But I can't give, no
I can't give up
And I wish, and I wish
I wish
I wish
I could cast my coins in wells to pile a mountain high
I could blow out candles to save my life from shambles
I'll try
I prayed for you
I waited for you
I longed for you to make my dreams come true
I hoped for you
I wished for you
I have wanted you to make my life feel brand new
Ooh and I wish and I wish
I wish
Traverse the universe on pins and needles
Collecting scarab beetle shells
Peek into the universe with hope to see where angels dwell
One never plans to fail, but the travail of rebirth is hell on earth
We feel the labor pains beneath our skin and skirts
Imagine being so desperate to
Break free from human chains
It hurts
We try tremendously to put our plans to work
Dig wells in the dirt, then cast our change into infinity
Longing and wishing, hoping and desiring
Our fate will meet good fortune for the future we're admiring
Until we're elevated with higher beings truly overseeing, without perspiring
Sweat it out
Get it out
Press hard, then let it out
Press hard, then let it out
I wished for you
I wrote it out
I practiced lucid dreaming just to see you every evening
Your form arrives
Before my eyes
But made of memories
My mind can't make you like the real thing
Lyrics of longing blacken out these pages,
At a loss for what to do, the greatest question of the ages, I'm
Reading through tea leaves
Over chats with seers and sages
Just to divinate the truest route to you through all the mazes
There's no genie in a lamp
No lamp to rub
No wishbones to break
I feel, out of luck
Fresh, out of luck
There's no genie in a lamp
No lamp to rub
No wishbones to break
But I can't give, no
I can't give up
And I wish, and I wish
I wish
I wish
