What You Wish For

Woke up today, to everything grey
And all that I saw, just kept goin' on and on
Sweep all the pieces under the bed
Close all the curtains and cover my head

And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you

If this serenade
(repeat after me)
(just a little bit closer)
Is not what you want
(do what I say)
(caught up in a lie)
It's just how it is
(won't change a thing)
(got a little bit colder)
It keeps goin' on and on

Come out, come out, wherever you are
Would you do it all over
Right from the start

And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you
So what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you

Once had this dream
Crashed down in oz
Not black and white
But where the colors are
I never dreamed that I would let it go

And I will get what I deserve
Keep all the secrets under the bed
Open the curtains forget what I said

And what you wish for could come true
You aren't surprised, love, are you
So what you wish for could come true
You act surprised, love, are you
