I Wish You Well Lyrics

Well it's a terrific break up song. He knows he wants her out of his life.

"Gonna cash my chips and roam/Gonna walk before you fade to black/I'm gonna write a new resume/I'm gonna write you off the page". Here, he's made up his mind to leave.

"And in another year/The pain will disappear and I Will look back on this life as if it were a scene In a film somebody made for you and me" He knows that it will take time for her to get over him and vice-versa (he still has feelings for her). And in a year, it won't seem real anymore.

"I cannot believe there's nothing left to save." Uh-oh, his bravado is starting to crack. He himself can't believe it's over."

I was surprised that this single never clicked. It is a much better tune than LIFE IS A HIGHWAY.
