Lyrics

Wish Me Well

You used to need to hold me so tightly I could not breathe
The bed got bigger, the space got wider, and we both had to leave
Now that all the anger’s done there’s only one thing to tell:
Oh, I wish you well

Sometimes late at night I lie staring at the moon
Or when I’m lying with my sweet lover in the afternoon
I may say a million things, I say a grateful prayer
I pray you’re happy somewhere

CHORUS:

Close a heart, close a hand
Close the door and understand
Close your eyes and wish me well

If you could have talked to me and I could have talked to you
We would have told the words in our hearts and we would have told the truth
But you could barely speak my name and I was much the same
Oh, silence was to blame

Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can still see your face
If I could hold you one more time, I’d hold you in a soft embrace
With room to breathe and room to grow without kicking at the door
Oh, and room to love you more

CHORUS
