Wishing

Do you ever lie awake in bed, your thoughts a train ride through your head
Just like I said
That I have laid awake inside my great mistake, that great divide
Inside my mind

Ooh this true illusion
Wishing through the barebones confusion

But I?ll say nothing just like I said before
Just don?t expect me to come knocking at your door
Oh I have seen this a thousand times before
What you can?t have, you want all the more
Oh but believe me
It?s all just wishing anymore

Do you expect to make it work amidst the wreck and world of hurt
And all you have shirked
You can play your games and try to make it all the same this time
But I?m not so-inclined

So you?re on your way to Africa
Don?t you forget you play guitar
I?m sorry for the girl you leave behind
?cause I have been there once before
You?re so afraid of what you are
Don?t let it slip away this time

Ooh this true illusion
Wishing through the barebones confusion
