Wishing It Was

Eagle Eye Cherry

Beauty and grace is what touches me most

Good times can put me in fear

I always feel safe when things are bad

So I can not let you come near

It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things

I always feel alive when the death bell rings

Now you have come and bring out the tears in me



Pain never makes me cry

But happiness does

It's so strange to watch my life walk by

Wishing it was

Wishing it was more like a fantasy

Where everyday surprises me

Wishing it was



This feeling won't last

'Cause I can not survive

I tell you I've been here before

When it's movin' this fast

It's a matter of time

One of us walks out that door

It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things

I always feel alive when the death bell rings

Now you come and you bring out the tears in me



But happiness does

It's so strange to watch my life walk by

Wishing it was

Wishing it was more like a fantasy

Where everyday surprises me

Wishing it was



Give this some thought

And I'm sure you will know

This is the way it must be

Emotions will rise

Emotions will flow

You bring out the tears in me

You bring out the tears in me
