bones, candles, stars and 11.11

If at any time u decide you no longer love me,
Please, try to warn me in advance
So I have a chance to disagree
And, to plead with you not to go but
To wait patiently.
And, If you're still not convinced,
I'll be sure to set you free.

oh, I wish your love was guaranteed,
So that if it stopped I could take it to the shop,
and get it fixed;
under lifetime waranty.

I wish your love was like the earth,
so that if it got cold;
I'd jump on a plane and go
somewhere where it's warm.

Oh, I know, you can't give me that kind of safety,
but, you know, that I would give it to you.
I know, you can't give me that kind of consistency,
you know, I would give you that too.

If wishes came true..

If you change your mind at anytime and realize you don't love me,
I'll let you go but,
In my mind you'll stay mine because, dreams are free.
And, the hurt when I'm awake,
Will fade away when I'm asleep.
And my prayers will be wishes,
that you'll come back
and stay with me.

I wish your love was forever mine,
like the cards they have at valentines:
Full of false hope,
Thats the kind I'm attracted to most.

I wish your love was like the sky,
forever expanding beyond what my eyes,
could ever see.
I wish your eyes would only see me.

I know you can't give me that kind of safety,
but you know, that I would give it to you.
I know you can't give me that kind of consistency,
you know, I would give you that too.

I wish wishes came true
I wish wishes came true
because if wishes came true
I'd Wish for you.
