Three Wishes Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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

this song should of been used in "the Lovely Bones" it's what I listened to almost the entire time I read the book.. it fits it perfectly.

Such an amazing song, it takes me to another place.. cant wait to hear it on gossip girl.
Just a coupleof corrections..
would we stop to feel = would we strive to feel
It will lose her anger = It renews her anger

beautiful

this song is incredibly beautiful, and i loved hearing it and the song secret on gossip girl.
amazing

I love this band and this song is just perfection i cant get enough! just a correction
If we built an army = if we built an armour
full of tender bodies = for our tender bodies

this song iss amazingg
i am in loveee withhh ittttt.

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)

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...
