You can hear me so clearly
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my goodnight girl
Caught up in your wishin' well
You hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try
Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
And see how I try
You feel me, so heal me
And tear me apart
I won't tell a soul
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my goodnight girl
Caught up in your wishin' well
You hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last
You keep me so near you
And see me so far
And hold me and send me
And deep in your heart
It doesn't matter how sad
I made you
Doesn't matter how hard
I try
Just remember the same
Old reason
Reflected in your eyes
You said you wanted me
Caught up in your wishin' well
Your hopes inside it
Take your love and promises
And make them last

It kind of sounds to me like it's about a man who depends on a prostitute to heal him and make his life worth living, but he still keeps his relationship with her a secret. He keeps promising her that he'll love her forever, but in reality, his promises are as shallow as the wishes made into a wishing well, and however much he loves her and however much they both need each other, he can never tell anyone because she's still a prostitute and he's afraid of the stigma, so no one can ever know about his goodnight girl.
I won't tell at all
Do they have to know
About my goodnight girl"
