If Wishes Were Horses.

I have prayed for better days, but this is not to be
Every time I venture out, you are all I see
Nobody remembers that this town once was mine
I never meant to let it slip away

You've got the attentions that I used to enjoy
When I'm standing next to you, no one sees me any more
I want to think that I'm the one
But I won't let me fake it
If I had a wishbone, I would break it

I always want a thousand things, I know I'd be denied
If wishes were horses, you know that I would ride
And you bring it all back home to me, every time we meet
Making it so obvious, things I'll never be
Now you're the prettiest, and I'll become the other one.


Got a rabbit's foot and I'm knocking on wood
For all that I have lost
Could they ever bring it back someday
If I stuck needles and pins into a likeness of you
Would I ever make you go away

I always want a thousand things, I know I'd be denied
If wishes were horses, you know that I would ride
And you bring it all back home to me, every time we meet
Making it so obvious, things I'll never be
Now you're the prettiest, and I'll become the other one.

 You're the prettiest, and I'll become the other one
