Wish You Well (feat. Bernard Fanning) - Baker Boy

Up so early feel so bright I didn't get much sleep last night Freight train rattled through my head A whistle blowing love is dead Is dead Heart attacked by fear and doubt Won't be long 'til the truth comes out First impressions never last Lover's bonds they hold so fast Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Welcome swallows dip and swing Take their cue from the slightest thing Rolling fog into my room Why d'you give up on me so soon? So soon Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Why d'you give up on me so soon? D'you give up on me so soon? I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well

If I played in a rock n roll band And I didn't disappoint you again Would you take back this Low down ramblin' man Cos we were so young and proud The first time that I let you down The look upon your face is All that I see now And I could list a thousand things That'd make me take you back again But I don't really need you half as much As I did then Cos we were so young and proud The first time that you let me down The look upon your face is All that I see now I waited out on your street Between Maple and 83 It wasn't really anything but Bittersweet Waited there all night long Digging my nails into my palms Waited for a light to come on Waited for your light to guide me home I am a big boy now Don't have to be hangin around I probably would have let you down again Anyhow And I am a big girl now And I don't want you hanging around You probably would have let me down again Anyhow You probably gonna let me down again Anyhow

I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true So I'll just listen in down the line While you're busy mixing grape with grain To sedate your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? The sweeping gesture creates a fuss It's only useful when receivin' praise Relieving no one's pain If you'd let somebody love you just enough You'd have everything you need to break Free from all your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true If you'd let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough

Only a fool would step away from this The song so sweet on the siren's lips How do you lie straight with a viper's tongue? I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace Now that the naked truth is out on display Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless? Three time lucky, you might admit See and speak and hear no evil Guess I thought I could just keep stumblin' back in I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace We were free fallin' out into nothin' anyway Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless?

At the end of my days when I'm called to go Into the open arms of the Holy Ghost To have lived such a life as I have known Fortune follows me, but I'm brave no more For my great mistakes I will surely pay I'm running low and the devil is on my trail When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for Is a place to rest and shelter for my soul Oh if I could spend my days Free from the prison of your gates Then I could die a happy man Oh if I could spend my days Free from the shadow of my name Then I could die happy man When I am released from this mortal load I'll take my leave but I don't wanna go When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for A place to rest and shelter for my soul

Boy boy boy boy Wraps his arm around a skinny thing Naked around, naked around, naked around Naked around the middle She's a sleepwalker with an expensive bag Cruising cubicles Cash thrills Cruising and thinking, a cap and hood Straps hanging down your black legs (Pig pig pig pig Stick that word out at your best mark Remember, remember, remember, remembering) All your sundays come back to haunt me I like to hurt myself like this sometimes What you want from me this time Do you want a spoon Carrying another wound Like an addiction When you caught your affliction I'm in a rage, i'm in a rage, i'm in a rage I knew i refused to hand it over Burn me, burn me, burn me, burn me I know what's going to happen next (Stood at the next table touching the lips with love) Okay now it's clear you can look Clean clean There's something (chromium) Tattooed dad is getting dirty And a (tired thing, boooze) Off with your head off with your head Your razor wire beauty You're going straight, you're going straight, you're going straight But sometimes you gotta show them I like to hurt myself like this sometimes What you want from me this time Do you want a spoon Carrying another wound Like an addiction When you caught your affliction

To be loved is a thrilling sensation, as thrilling as can be Though it happens in every nation, they greet if differently Every mademoiselle with pasoolala, every Englishman talks to his patter Every spittin' Venetian goes tra la la and the Irish say Mother Machree But when I look at you and I thrill like I do, there is only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la, la Certain characters hi-diddle-diddle when cupid comes along Some mechanics shift gears in the middle and drummers kick the gong Every cowboy I know hollers yipee-a-ay Every clown in the circus goes hoopla Every sailor in port hollers anchors aweigh And an Indian gives you a ugg! But when you hold me tight like you're doing tonight There's only one thing I can say Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh, boy what a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy, a joy To know that you love me by heaven above me I never expected to pick you off the vine (The others will try and try and try and try and try) (To give you the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye) But when they approach you, I'll keep them in line By telling them oh boy, oh boy, oh boy Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy you're mine

Words that pull the trigger fear the laughing sound Haunts you to consider love might turn you around To face a blind emotion words like 'hey, let's try' Words like think it over they just don't apply I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) Love is what you make it, love the overflow Play if you can take it some they just don't know If all the rules they are making, break somebody's heart What's the use in taking babies fall apart I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) Realize that love is just is just a word That goes unheard in a situation Of exploration Where love is nothing and you are all I can see This boy's in love with you You're everything I can see This boy's in love with you You have taken it all away from me Words that pull the trigger fear the laughing sound Haunts you to consider love might turn you around To face a blind emotion words like 'hey let's try' Words like think it over they just don't apply I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me (I'm the boy, I'm the boy) I'm the boy you made me) (I'm the boy, I'm the boy)
