Boy, I'm wishing
You keep wishing
I'm wishing
But if wishes were horses beggars would ride
I'd get past my pride, you'd be by my side
I wouldn't be holding on to memories
I wouldn't need them, you'd be here with me
That I was separate and complete was my confusion
My reciprocity turned out to be retribution
So caught up with what I wanted you to be
Convinced that perfection meant spot free
Boy, look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is
It may seem I'm holding it down
But if you wanna know the truth
I'm slowly losing my ground
And if you wanna know the truth
There's no one keeping me warm
Well, if you wanna know the truth
I'm only good in your arms
If you wanna know
I miss the way you used to say, "I wanna bone ya"
But I have to resist the urge to phone ya
You must've moved on, it's been over a year
And it wouldn't be fair to burden you with my tears
I know I said I didn't need you and I'd be alright
But I got a much different story tonight
I miss your laughter, such a beautiful thing
Now the silence closes in
Boy, just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is
It may seem I'm holding it down
But if you wanna know the truth
I'm slowly losing my ground
Well, if you wanna know the truth
There's no one keeping me warm
And if you wanna know the truth
I'm only good in your arms
And if you wanna know the truth
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Keep wishing
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh
Oh
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is
It may seem I'm holding it down
But if you wanna know the truth
I'm slowly losing my ground
Well, if you wanna know the truth
There's no one keeping me warm
And if you wanna know the truth
I'm only good in your arms
And if you wanna know the truth
Just look at me now
A shadow of my former glory
And the moral of my story is
It may seem...
