lyrics

It's been a long time since you've been great
Just hold your hair back, walking like a ghost, you hold yourself up high, you know I can relate
So speak your sweet nothings with those cat-like eyes
You're selling your soul by telling those lies you know
It's like nothing's real

What are you going to do when you just start wishing he'd come around
You ain't fooling nobody, I know you're breaking glass you just hide the sound
When all you've got are those pennies in your pocket
You put yourself inside that cage and then lock it on you
It seems ridiculous to me

When all you want is a wishing well baby but all you'll settle for is a heavy ball and chain
Got to speak before you yell, stand aside and wish it well
It's all your ready for, it's all your ready for

Less ain't more why can't you see that holding back is blasphemy
And of all the words of mice and men the saddest are it could of been
Well if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride
If you don't like the rain then just don't go out side

When all you want is a wishing well baby but all you'll settle for is a heavy ball and chain
Got to speak before you yell, stand aside and wish it well
It's all your ready for, it's all your ready for
