What You Wish For Lyrics

Cover art for What You Wish For lyrics by Guster

It's a relationship you really loved that has gone sour, and it's grey. Then you let her go, and you thought you never would. Then start over, hence the references to opening curtains and a new colorful day. And you finally let that person go, and you'll get something better, what you deserve, and what you've wished for.

Just my opinion. I think any songs meanings can be twisted so many ways, and it might be just how I see the song relating to me. I don't know, I'm silly.
