Three Wishes Lyrics

We'd be so less fragile
If we're made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
if we built an armour
For our tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we strive to feel

And you want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away

You say you want to know her like a lover
And undo her damage, she'll be new again
Soon you'll find that if you try to save her
It will renews her anger
You will never win

And you want three wishes:
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away

You want three wishes:
One to fly the heavens
One to swim like fishes
You want never bitter
And all delicious
And a clean conscience
And all it's blisses
You want one true lover with a thousand kisses
You want soft and gentle and never vicious
And then one you're saving for a rainy day
If your lover ever takes her love away

Such an amazing song, it takes me to another place.. cant wait to hear it on gossip girl.

Just a coupleof corrections..

Reading the lyrics now, this song makes sense Its like when you have someone whos been in a bad relationship and you want to help them but sometimes it makes it worse ("soon you'll find that if you want to save her it renews her anger you'll never win)

Just reading over what a guy might want if he had three wishes really makes you think

Such a beautiful song My favorite line is "If your lover ever takes her love away."

such a beautiful song. it is filled with perfection)

Cover art for Three Wishes lyrics by Pierces, The

I think she does say very clearly 'would we stop to feel' The point she makes is: if you build an armour so no-one could hurt you anymore, would you still be able to love and to feel (or will you stop to feel).

Anyway, this is such a magically beautiful song...it's perfect indeed. never bitter and all delicious...
