Josh Graham - Dead Wishes lyrics

Staring in the mirror with two borrowed eyes Looking for a part of me that's still alive Waiting for my chest to fall 'n rise Standing on the corner with my shirt tucked in Summer turns to autumn, winter turns to spring And it all flies by like a speeding train Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man's dream Down and out with everything to lose If these long dead wishes never do come true Waiting for the night to come and chase away All the flies hovering around my head With my memories for a pillow and all my regrets for a bed Standing on the corner now I'm past surprise Yelling out a warning to some pa**erby I stand just as God made me and I lie down in disguise Dead wishes on a burning lake White roses for my soul to keep Diving down with everything to win If my long since sunken ship ever does come in Round and round we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble Time keeps moving slower Like falling from the sun Come and knock me over I keep getting up Throw a line down to me Keep hanging on... Standing on the corner don't apologize You don't have to bow your head or raise your eyes Or pretend that you don't see me Dead wishes on a broken chain White roses in a dead man's dream Down and out with everything to lose If these long dead wishes These long dead wishes never do come true Round and round we all fall down And that's how ancient mountains crumble (2x) That's how ancient mountains crumble (2x)
