Free Willy
[Chorus]
Why would we wince when we wish well?
Hell, Heaven has high hopes hallowed
All anyone answers are allegories
Let light live, let light languish
Everyone enters endlessly embellished
Silence sulks slightly centered somewhere
[Verse]
I ill-advise the king
(I died on one of those days)
So you can buy a diamond ring
(I think it started with the lеtter T or maybe S but it could always be a Monday)
And wе can take our time to talk a little slower
(Have you ever sat in the rain, waiting for the results of a test? It sounds a lot more romantic as a question; they shoved the Q-tip so far up my nose, I saw god)
But you're all cut up in nets
(It was that or it was a tear silently forming in my eye in front of a stranger)
I spent my breath on cigarettes
(I gave my green umbrella to a very tall girl who once lost five hundred dollars to a drug dealer named Psycho)
And things like this have a tendency to blow up
(It was the one I found outside of the apartment of the only boy I'd ever marry; he doesn't believe in marriage and he no longer answers my calls)
So tell me that you love me
(A few weeks ago, I fell in love with a woman for the first time in my life but she is already in love with another woman)
Tell me you've been thinking of me
(It's the same kind of irony Alanis Morissette sings about)
Tell me I don't have to charge the gates alone
(This is the second time today this exact reference has come up; the tall girl told me she had given her ex back their umbrella earlier that morning as we were standing in the rain)
So tell me that the city's changing
(I would do anything for love, I would do anything)
Tell me without conversation
(I would do anything for love, I would do anything for love)
Tell me I'm not fucking crazy, that you know
(I would do anything for love, even stay alive)
[Chorus]
Why would we wince when we wish well?
Hell, Heaven has high hopes hallowed
All anyone answers are allegories
Let light live, let light languish
Everyone enters endlessly embellished
Silence sulks slightly centered somewhere
