Stars & Wishing Wells

Yeah…

Midnight spills through the windowpane

I’ve been talking to the dark again

⸻

Midnight spills through my windowpane

City asleep, but I’m wide awake

I trace your name in the quiet dark

Like maybe it’s written in the stars

I been calling the wishing well all night

Throw my hopes in, watch them sink outta sight

They say “be patient,” but patience hurts

When you been loving ghosts since you learned

I don’t trust smiles, I trust the pain

It’s the only thing that stayed the same

So I aim my voice up high

Where nothing lies and nothing dies

⸻

Every coin got a memory

Every prayer got doubt in it

If you’re real, if you’re out there

I hope you feel me breathing your air

⸻

I talk to the stars when I’m missing you

Even though I don’t know who you are yet

I ask them if you’re lonely too

If your heart’s been searching the same steps

I’m calling the wishing well, asking it why

Every echo sounds like goodbye

I don’t need riches, I don’t need fame

I just want someone to say my name

⸻

I’ve been patient, I’ve been strong

But forever feels too long

I don’t want perfect, I want true

Someone that feels like coming home to

They say love comes when you’re not looking

But I been lost inside the waiting

I tried to drown the thoughts in noise

Tried to fill the void with broken joys

Every high come with a low

Every wish got a price I owe

So I send my hope into the sky

Let the universe decide

⸻

If you’re hurting, if you’re afraid

I hope you know I stayed this way

I don’t wanna die, I just want peace

I just want my head to let me sleep

⸻

I talk to the stars every night

Wondering if you see this light

If somewhere you’re wishing on me

Like I’m wishing you into reality

I’m calling the wishing well again

Hands shaking, heart not well

If love’s real, don’t let it pass

I been drowning way too fast

⸻

Maybe you’re staring at the same sky

Asking the same questions tonight

Maybe we’re closer than we think

One brave moment from collide

Maybe I ask for the wrong things

Maybe I don’t deserve change

Still, I keep a light on low

In case you’re trying to find your way home

⸻

So I talk to the stars, soft and slow

Tell them I’m ready, tell them I know

That love like this doesn’t disappear

It just waits till both hearts are here

I’ll keep my heart where the dark can’t reach

Even if it breaks, at least it beats

Till the night I don’t have to pray—

’Cause you’re here… and the stars fade away

(fading)

If you hear this…

I’m still wishing.

I’m still looking up.
