Counting Crows - Wishing Well Lyrics

Wishing Well

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 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

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 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

I think I realize
I think I realize
Ahh baby, I think that I realize
I think I realize
