Lyrics
Down
Copyright 2003, Wesley Warren
I wish I may, I wish I might, fight off the anger, fight off the fright. Coincidence, the price you pay, for believing in heroes and prophecy.
Hey, don't you keep me her, don't you tie me down; just let me go.
I wish I may, I wish I might, find you here and make light, light of it all. Put on your face, and lipstick too, and fight off the answer and fall into blue, fall into...
I wish I might, I wish I may, live to see the time, you feel the light of day. So how have you been? Do you remember the time, or have you forgotten, you left the scene of the crime; oh can't you see me now cry, for crying out loud?
