wishing well

Stand atop the wishing well in the dark of the night
Passing the time. Not a star in sight
Not even one. Not one to make an empty wish on
Cross my heart and hope to die. If I break apart with this lie
The time keeps on passing but you remain the same
And your love still remains
I make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well
I never hear the fall. It’s as if the wish was too tall
I make a wish on a prayer. Hoping you’re still there
Don’t give up on me now. Don’t give up on my yet
Hindsight is always such a sight
Inpredicting the weather and how things ought to be
Send your rain and relieve me from this tongue twisted pain
I make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well
I never hear the fall. It’s as if the wish was too tall
Crumbling I drop a rock
And hear the echoes of the screams as it hits the bottom
At the bottom I find my heart
I believed when they moved their lips. I didn’t take my eyes off theirs
All the right words and all the right convincing
I closed my eyes and jumped in, spinning
Prologue to the foreclosure of a heart
I see you at the top of the well with open arms and a smile
At the top of the well
You’re wishing me well
