The Wish

(album: Rabbit Hole - 2019)

There are many things that every person hopes for
In the never-ending want for happiness
Everybody needs a little motivation while they work
To carve their own path

Maybe it's a summer cottage by the seaside
Or bags of money in the bank for years to come
I could never blame a dreamer for their dreams
Oh but for me, there's only one

You are the wish
That I imagine when I blow out the candles
On my birthday cake
You are the wish
I say a prayer for when I look out the window
And see the Northern Star
There's no greater love
No greater gift than you as my wish

Sometimes I am apt to buy into the falsehood
That the grass is greener on the other side
Lately I've been trying to savor every moment
When you're stuck, stuck in my mind

You are the wish
That I imagine when I blow out the candles
On my birthday cake
You are the wish
I say a prayer for when I look out the window
And see the Northern Star
There's no greater love
No greater gift

'Cus you are the poster child of quirky imperfections
Oh, and if that rings true
Please know that I'd be honored to walk
Hand in hand, parading as the oddest little couple
That the world has ever known to exist
But for now, back to my list

You are the wish

You are the wish
I say a prayer for when I look out the window
And see the Northern Star

And you are right here
Oh, this is it
You're at the tippy tip top of my bucket list

Oh, my love
There's no greater gift
Than you as my wish
