[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Didn't you wonder where your bright-eyed baby boy 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 4]

Didn't you wonder where your bright-eyed baby boy 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 baby boy has gone?

He's sleeping in the bottom of a wishing well

Wishing he wasn't suffering the same dreams all day long

[Outro]

I think I realize

I think I realize

Ahh baby, I think that I realize

I think I realize
