Lyrics

Wishes Seem So Small

There’s a clock in the corner about as big as the moon
The hands move slowly, nothing seems late, nothing seems soon
I didn’t see it ‘til now, after you disappeared from view
And I wonder if you would have left if you could have seen it too

Kisses on the cheek is all they’ll be
Wishes seem so small when they come from me

The heartbeat of stone, the blood flow through forest
The creaking bones of a star-filled chorus
You knew best…I suppose I did too
In a race to already we’ll both be there soon

Kisses on the cheek is all they’ll be
Wishes seem so small when they come from me

I see now the trail of the tomcat’s prowl
He’s not thinking about any extra lives because he doesn’t know how
The roots go deep as the tree grows tall
And I’m all alone on the front steps left to wonder about it all

Kisses on the cheek is all they’ll be
Wishes seem so small when they come from me
Kisses on the cheek is all they’ll be
Wishes seem so small when they come from me

I wish the summer was longer and old things were treated like new
I loved you like a mountain…I wish you knew
