Wishing Well Lyrics
Been gone a long time, I kinda lost my way, can't find it
And I caught a short ride to the great (?) season
I try to get by but every time I start to panic
I'm a little shy, a bit strange and a little bit manic
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well,
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)
On a narrowing line, what a way to short my troubles
In a very short time, gonna pop, better duck and cover
Come to figure me out, I got caught like a little kid stealing
Did I say it too loud? A bit hard or a little misleading
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well,
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
I went to a wishing well,
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)
I went to a wishing well,
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)
And I caught a short ride to the great (?) season
I try to get by but every time I start to panic
I'm a little shy, a bit strange and a little bit manic
La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)
In a very short time, gonna pop, better duck and cover
Come to figure me out, I got caught like a little kid stealing

La da da da, da da da da da
La da da da, da da da da
La da da da, da da da da da

like blood in the promised land (?)
it sank to the ocean floor
Cut on the sharpened rocks
and washed out along the shore
I reached for a shooting star,
it burnt a hole through my hand
and made it's way through my heart
like blood in the promised land (?)

its about a wishing well
Instead of "to the great (?) season" it is "To the grave and back this season"
Instead of "washed out" it is "washed up"
"It sank to the ocean floor"
I think this song is about what he wished would have happened in the situation of the breakup but instead his wishes were crushed again and again. It also talks about his own issues he's "a bit strange and a little bit manic" which made it hard for them to get along. He also talks about when he would try to fix things between them things would get blown out of proportion and they'd fight "gonna pop better duck and cover". Then have fun in the promise land is maybe an uplifting look at blink's future.

I think it's about Tom's departure from the band
Tom's reaction/response to Hearts All Gone. Hearts All Gone only has Mark on vocals, and this only has Tom.
um yea this is if she falls not wishing well
um yea this is if she falls not wishing well
Why did you change the songtext to the wrong one?
The first part is, i think, about the time they broke up Blink and went separate ways. The next part is about his freedom right after. Creating AVA and having this wishing well, that he drowned in. As he reached for the stars, but got burned as Ava didn't turn out to be the biggest thing ever known to mankind. The last part is either about the way the brake up happened. We've heard stories about Mark finding out that Geffen had offered Tom a Solo deal or whatever and Tom feeling like he "got caught" in doing something hushhush and not just telling the others about it. Or it could be about him doing drugs and being a dick and just forgetting about his unhappiness with the whole situation he was in. Or it could be about both :-)
I don't know, but i think it's one of the only songs on the record, that actually has some pretty good lyrics.
This song makes me extremely happy even though it has "dark lyrics" but the music doesn't make them sound very dark.
