Wishing
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Oh you were never the one just having fun
That black bandana you tied round my eyes
You stopped me thinking too full of feeling
Failed to see I was barely alive
I starved in your gaze it was never enough
You knew how to tie me in your knots rough
How to get me lost didn't see the cost
Watching and waiting for you to seal my fate
You kept me
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me so far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Never felt so deep never fell so hard
Must be love, no? Or so says the bard
My thoughts ran dark then they drained away
Kept my heart in my gut and it couldn't get enough
It couldn't get enough
Craved you even when you smothered me
Too hard too light too brief too long
I wrote you a poem but you laughed at me
Cruel but utterly mine and you kept me
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Got me fixing got me cooking
Got me wanting to meet your mama
Put a ring on you tie you down
Oh! My turn at the bandana now
Now you owe me my life's prize
Got you begging for one more night
Got you knowing fright
Get out of my sight
So tight no light between us
Make you make me your only lover your turn now
You're wishing that things were other than they are
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Oh you were never the one just having fun
That black bandana you tied round my eyes
You stopped me thinking too full of feeling
Failed to see I was barely alive
I starved in your gaze it was never enough
You knew how to tie me in your knots rough
How to get me lost didn't see the cost
Watching and waiting for you to seal my fate
You kept me
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me so far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Never felt so deep never fell so hard
Must be love, no? Or so says the bard
My thoughts ran dark then they drained away
Kept my heart in my gut and it couldn't get enough
It couldn't get enough
Craved you even when you smothered me
Too hard too light too brief too long
I wrote you a poem but you laughed at me
Cruel but utterly mine and you kept me
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Got me fixing got me cooking
Got me wanting to meet your mama
Put a ring on you tie you down
Oh! My turn at the bandana now
Now you owe me my life's prize
Got you begging for one more night
Got you knowing fright
Get out of my sight
So tight no light between us
Make you make me your only lover your turn now
You're wishing that things were other than they are
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
Wishing that things were other than they are
Oh that never got me too far
Wishing that things were other than they are
Is just waiting under your star
