Wish You Well
Wish You Well: Embracing Change Amidst Heartache
Lyrics
Up so early, feel so bright
Expressing an early awakening with a positive mood
I didn't get much sleep last night
Acknowledging a lack of sleep the previous night
A freight train rattled through my head
Describing a disruptive mental state with the metaphor of a freight train
Whistle blowing', love is dead
Referring to a signal of the end of love, possibly through a symbolic train whistle
Is dead
Reiterating the finality of love being dead
Heart attacked by fear and doubt
Expressing emotional turmoil with fear and doubt
Won't be long 'til the truth comes out
Suggesting that the truth will be revealed soon
First impressions never lie
Highlighting the reliability of first impressions
Lover's bonds they hold so fast
Emphasizing the strength of lovers' bonds
Restless future burnin' bright
Describing an uncertain and dynamic future
The past is holdin' on so tight
Indicating a strong grip of the past on the present
I never heard the warnin' bell
Expressing a lack of awareness of impending problems
And I just want to wish you well
Expressing a desire for the well-being of the person addressed
I just want to wish you well
Repeating the wish for wellness, possibly for emphasis
Welcome swallows dip and swing
Describing the graceful flight of swallows
Take their cue from the slightest thing
Suggesting sensitivity to subtle influences
Rollin' fog into my room
Describing the intrusion of confusion or uncertainty
Why'd you give up on me so soon?
Questioning the abrupt abandonment by someone
So soon
Reiterating the suddenness of the abandonment
Restless future burnin' bright
Repeating the description of an uncertain and dynamic future
The past is holding on so tight
Reiterating the strong influence of the past
I never heard the warnin' bell
Repeating the lack of awareness of impending problems
And I just want to wish you well
Expressing a desire for the well-being of the person addressed
I just want to wish you well
Repeating the wish for wellness, possibly for emphasis
I just want to wish you well
-I just want to wish you well
-Why'd you give up on me so soon?
Questioning the abrupt abandonment by someone
Why'd you give up on me so soon?
Reiterating the suddenness of the abandonment
I just want to wish you well
Expressing a desire for the well-being of the person addressed
I just want to wish you well
Repeating the wish for wellness, possibly for emphasis
