Wishing Well - The Oh Hellos

I ran like a speeding train

Cut my hair and changed my name

Only had myself to blame

For the company I was keeping

Curse my restless wandering feet

Prone to wander endlessly

All the love you gave to me

It wasn’t enough to keep me

Cause, oh, I stole from my father all I thought I could sell

Tossed his copper, and I watched as it fell

But there wasn’t any water in the wishing well

Bent my knee to many kings

Idols of prosperity

Heard that dollar calling me

So I sought it in the city

For my soul, he made an offer

And to the dust again I fell

And oh, that devil’s got a hold on me now

Because there wasn’t any water in the wishing well

(Oh, ooh, ooh, ohh) x4
