about

Wishing Well’s introductory drum-fill explodes into a fast-paced, gritty-guitar based song about reminiscing a past relationship where the flame had died. The fiery sound of Wishing Well conflicts with the rather honest, reflective and meaningful lyrics, creating an energy, angst and passion that is consistent throughout a lot of my songwriting and performances. The explosive production and instrumentation of Wishing Well demands attention...this is NOT background music!

lyrics

Remember back when we were seventeen
When you chose to grow these seeds with me
Our world would stop each Friday night
'Cause lying on the couch with you
Always felt so right

I put all my money on a shooting star
I closed my eyes 'cause I thought I wanted more
I didn't realise everything we had before

The walls cave in and they crumble down
Broken dreams in the lost and found
You could've been my wishing well
Heads or tails as we hit the ground
Beginning to breathe when we start to drown
In all the secrets that I can't tell
You could've been my wishing well

I thought it looked greener on the other side
I left the garden we'd grown to slowly die

I lost all my money on that shooting star
'Cause I closed my eyes to see a little bit more
I didn't realise you were what I was looking for

The walls cave in and they crumble down
Broken dreams in the lost and found
You could've been my wishing well
Heads or tails as we hit the ground
Beginning to breathe when we start to drown
In all the secrets that I can't tell
You could've been my wishing well
You could've been my wishing well

There's nothing to say anymore
It's not like we can go back and fix what we had before
I don't know why I ever let you go
Gotta face the truth
That I'm the one that left you...

The walls cave in and they crumble down
Broken dreams in the lost and found
You could've been my wishing well
Heads or tails as we hit the ground
Beginning to breathe when we start to drown
In all the secrets that I can't tell
Ooohh! You could've been my wishing well
You could've been my wishing well
You could've been my wishing well
My wishing well...
