I'm stuck at the bottom
Of a wishing well
Sitting criss-cross
I stare at the sky
looking forward
To the sun greeting me
Each morning
And the moon kissing me
Goodnight

People occasionally come by
Dropping loose change down the well
Never noticing my silent screams
Yet i hear all their deepest desires

Some pray for
Lost lovers
Wellness
Wealth

I wish i could plant the coins
Until they grew enough happiness
That no one would have to wish anymore
They would finally be satisfied

But since i can't
I've been thinking
Maybe
If i can collect enough coins

I can stack them
End over end
And climb to the top

I'll take as many as i can carry with me
In hope
I'll have enough to buy your heart

I wished you would fall in love with me
But instead i fell down the wishing well
