VerseI threw a coFin into a fountain
On a moGuntain top in Rome
The water lEmit from underneath so you could
Amsee how deep it didn't go
I wished fFor cinematic love
Or some apprGoximation of it
Like sEmomebody else's bravery could
eAmver be the thing to save me
On a bFirthday candle's flame
I wished tGo glorify my given name
And prEmove my worth by making myself kAmnown
I watch the yFears collect and gather
And my brGight future knows I'm staring at her
EmShe never asks about the glory,
Amshe just wants a love storyInterludeFGEmAm

There is the blGuest bird with the blackest eyes
Who fEmascinates a stranger who just
shAmared with me he lost his wife
FFive days ago he softly said
50 yGears of loving her and when
Emshe held my hand, and said goodbye
She sAmaid: Don't give up, I'll send you signs
He stFared up at the heavens
And the teGars rolled down his face
He told me EmI was living proof of her to
Amhim that very day
It took my brFeath away, his sadness
And I hGeld it to my chest
And I lEmet it break me open and Ambe blessedInterludeFGEmAm
BridgeDemFolish me, my maker
I could aGsk for nothing more
I will bEmuild the deepest wishing well from the
tAmears upon my kitchen floor
A chFildhood made of wishes
NGaïve and superficial
ComEmpared to what is given, they don't
eAmven hold a candle
NFothing that I asked for
