Wishing Time

There's a shooting star

In the night sky

I'm holding my breath

Is it wishing time?

Where do you go when your heart's been broken?

What is there to say when you've lost it all?

You opened up, the places you swore would stay hidden,

Became exposed and now it's all been poisoned.

Chorus:

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

No one will ever love me like I do,

Like I do.

I've been going at this

For way too long

Dreaming on dreams

That will never come true.

Where do you go when loving is your place in this world?

What is there to say when you've given it your all?

You tried to be strong, you've been pushed too hard, too long

Became a fighter and now all you see is the reflection of you, on your own.

Chorus

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more

I need it.

Chorus

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more,

That I do.

Running Out of Wishing Wells

I think I’m running out of wishing wells

The universe is full of stars, and I think they’ve lost their powers.

I never wished on the clock,

But I blew out candles with prayers upon my breath.

Each kiss in which I partook,

Were hopes locked on lips for the love that was within;

The other kisses, the ones with the others,

The ones without markers upon my heart,

They were skipping stones I threw across the water

Trying to find feeling inside and reach for a flutter like butterflies

            Those kind in your stomach, but few achieved it.

            None were the hopes though, the wishes backed with feelings

The kind that makes you cry at night

            And in the daytime.

I wish for you, even though my mind has said stop.

Told you I feared hope, but it’s settled in and I’m scared.

You’ve become silent when it comes to the matters of our hearts once again,

            And I have an inkling that you’re running once more.

            Can’t handle the commitment to someone that’s good for you.

            Can’t handle the commitment to the one you know you can’t erase.

I know I can’t erase, but I’m not waiting.

            Not anymore.

You have to decide, I’ll still come, I’ll still love you,

But no more excuses, no more withholding.

Take a stand, otherwise, we’ll just keep revolving like earth, sun, moon

            The axis going around

                        And around.

I’ve become dizzy.

I will do my best with my life, but please decide

The coin you toss into the air,

            That’s my heart

Heads,

            Face love, have love

Tails,

            Run, imagine, acquire love façade.

Go ahead, throw it into whatever wells you have left,

I know we’re both coming to spiraling ends going

            “Where’s a wish when you need one?”

Please…someone grant.

Wave a wand, breathe in

Let an angel brush against.

Find me. We’ll talk,

            I’m back

Here I am, je suis ici

Come to me

I’m still living.
