Wishes Unraveled: A Melancholic Reflection on Lost Time and Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
Yesterday I found myself thinking of you
Reflecting on thoughts about someone from the past.
Of all the things we want to change but mostly never do
Contemplating desired changes that often go unfulfilled.
And I picture you looking out your window through the rain
Imagining the person looking through a rainy window.
Though I know it's only my imagination playing games
Acknowledging that it's just imagination at play.
And I can't help but lose control
Feeling a lack of control in a situation.
I didn't know what I had to lose until I lost it all
Realizing the value of what was lost only after losing it all.
And i tell myself there's no one left to take the blame
Convincing oneself that no one else is to blame.
We were born to see the truth and then to look the other way
Expressing the human tendency to ignore the truth and turn away.
So I'm sending all my wishes to you
Sending wishes to the person, though acknowledging their ineffectiveness.
Cause for me they won't be of any use
Admitting that the wishes won't make a difference.
I started out running but I never left the ground
Starting a journey but not making progress.
Sometimes there's not enough of a dream to go around You deserve the best for all the gifts I know you have inside
Recognizing insufficient dreams for everyone.
For everyone that moves ahead somebody's left behind
Acknowledging the disparity between those who advance and those left behind.
And I can't help but lose control
Reiterating a sense of losing control in a situation.
We don't know what we have to lose until we've lost it all
Realizing the value of something only after losing it all.
And I blame myself for never keeping good track of time
Taking responsibility for not keeping track of time.
It's times like these I recognize a flaw in the design
Noticing a flaw in the design during challenging times.
So I'm sending all my wishes your way
Continuing to send wishes despite their perceived futility.
Cause there's no use in me asking them to stay
Recognizing the pointlessness of asking the wishes to stay.
