Wishing Well
Echoes of Wishes: Navigating Love's Dark Depths with The Lyndsay Diaries
Lyrics
Stand atop the wishing well in the dark of the night
Standing on top of a wishing well during the dark night.
Passing the time, not a star in sight
Passing time without any stars visible in the sky.
Not even one, not one to make an empty wish on
No stars available to make a wish on the well.
Cross my heart and hope to die, if I break apart with this lie.
Pledging sincerity and a commitment, fearing consequences if the commitment is broken.
The time keeps on passing but you remain the same
Time passing, but the person addressed remains unchanged, and love persists.
And your love still remains.
The enduring nature of love despite the passage of time.
I make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well
Wishing on a prayer, shedding tears into the well.
I never hear the fall, it's as if the wish was too tall
Not hearing the tear fall, as if the wish is unattainable.
I make a wish on a prayer, hoping you're still there
Making a wish, hoping the person is still present.
Don't give up on me now, don't give up on my yet.
Pleading not to be abandoned or given up on.
Hindsight is always such a sight
Reflecting on the past with clarity.
Inpredicting the weather and how things ought to be
Anticipating outcomes and how things should be.
Send your rain and relieve me from this tongue twisted pain.
Requesting relief from emotional pain.
I make a wish on a prayer as a tear falls down the well
Repeating the act of wishing on a prayer, tears falling into the well.
I never hear the fall, it's as if the wish was too tall
Not perceiving the fall of the tear, suggesting a futile wish.
Crumbling, I drop a rock and hear the echoes of the screams as it hits the bottom
Dropping a rock into the well, hearing echoes and perhaps symbolizing a breaking point.
At the bottom I find my heart.
Discovering one's heart at the bottom of the well, possibly broken.
I believed when they moved their lips, I didn't take my eyes off theirs
Believing in spoken words, maintaining unwavering attention.
All the right words and all the right convincing
Being convinced by persuasive and seemingly sincere words.
I closed my eyes and jumped in, spinning.
Taking a leap of faith, closing eyes, and experiencing a whirlwind of emotions.
Prologue to the foreclosure of a heart
Introduction to the closure of a heart, suggesting a painful ending.
I see you at the top of the well with open arms and a smile
Visualizing the addressed person at the top of the well with openness and a smile.
At the top of the well
Reiterating the presence at the top of the well.
You're wishing me well.
Expressing good wishes from the top of the well.
