wye oak - if children were wishes lyrics
[verse 1]
if children were wishes
my mother spent hers on impossible things
my brother was money
my sister was love
and i was world peace
[verse 2]
my brother, he spent it
my sister got pregnant
and all that i’m worth
will only come true
when there are no more of us left on this earth
[hook]
ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
[verse 3]
if hearts were machines that kept
running forever automatically
then you wouldn’t be in that
hospital bed, on that saline i-v
[verse 4]
and if it’s your diet
you stubbornly swear that it wasn’t your fault
you rather be dead in that hospital bed
than cut back on sugar and salt
[hook]
[verse 5]
oh, weren’t you afraid of
living in a major american city
so you marry a stupid
unreachable girl who’s impossibly pretty
[verse 6]
and i’ve seen you drive everyday of your life
and it’s always a rush
and i have to wonder
how i ever let you do something so dangerous
[verse 7]
and so i suppose
this is just how it goes no matter how i try
i just have to watch you
get weaker and weaker ’till you finally die
[verse 8]
but i have to remember
the wish of my mother and all that i’m worth
which will only come true
when there are no more of us left on this earth
[hook]
