Wishing Well - Lyrics by Counting Crows


Lyrics
Did you think you were unbelievable

Then, I see that

Twenty-four hours in a wishing well

Thinking about drowning

Thinking about pennies in heaven
I guess I'll realize in a day or more
I guess I'll tilt my head back in the rain

Drown myself on sky
I guess I'll realize in a day or more
I guess I'll realize when I'm buried in the evidence

Did you think you were irresponsible

Well I don't see that

One or two children on a workingman's salary

Doesn't seem like a lot to ask
I guess I'll realize in a day or more
I guess I'll realize when her baby starts to cry

Mothers in welfare lines

Husbands who said good-bye
I think I realize
I think I realize, yeah
Didn't you wonder where your bright-eyed babyboy has gone

He's sleeping in the bottom of a wishing well

Whispering' the ripples through the fates and changes

Did you think you were young and beautiful

Then, I see that

One or two people sliding gracefully together and apart

This sort of thing never lasts
I guess I'll realize in a day or more
I guess I'll realize when I'm twisting in the wind

After I say good-bye, I guess I'll understand why
I guess I realize
I guess I realize

Didn't you wonder where your bright-eyed babyboy has gone

He's a victim in the bottom of a wishing well

Wishing he was anywhere but there and gone

And, didn't anyone wonder where their bright-eyed babyboy has gone

He's sleeping in the bottom of a wishing well

Wishing he wasn't suffering the same dreams all day long
I think I realize
I think I realize
Ahh baby, I think that I realize
I think I realize..
