[Verse 1]

I see your wishes on the wall

And that's alright with me

I see you run to make a call

Hoping that there's someone free

Your life and my life, they don't touch at all

And that's no way to be

You've never seemed so far

[Pre-Chorus 1]

What's real? What's true?

I ain't turning my back on you

Where you going? Where you been?

Making wishes, watching dreams?

[Chorus 1]

It might be simple, it might be true

I might be overwhelmed by you

You might be empty

The way your eyes just look right through

It's such a mess now anyway

Wish fulfillment every day

I don't believe you

Now I can't hear a word you say

[Verse 2]

I see you shaking in the light

Reading the headline news

The others, they're not quite so bright

You want them to choose you

I could almost see your face tonight

Singing simple rhythm and blues

You'll always be a star

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Shake it, baby, come on, scream

Did I see your face in a magazine?

Your doubt, it leaves me sore

I can't stand it anymore

[Chorus 2]

It's my favorite shot of you

You looked so pretty, your eyes were true

I'm still on your side

In spite of everything you do

We're only blood on light on life

New pretty pictures every night

Come wish beside me

Don't you know you know what's right?
