Wished Out - Carl Broemel

Car is rusty, window cracked

Bumper falling off the back

And the garden’s all overgrown

Not the world’s problem, it’s your own

Meanwhile, birds swim in the fountain

Water springs down from the mountains

See, that rainbow’s just pretty light

If it fades away we will be alright

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had

Feeling dusty, thrown from your horse

Fallen stars but nice and short

And in the back rooms, all filled with smoke

I feel the punch line, not the joke

I know I stayed here way too long

With the music blaring on

Now the party is breaking up

And my dream is to just wake up

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had

While the sun melts in the ocean

Fires are burning, winds are blowing

Lay me down like a flaming leaf

Falling off of that big old tree

When the bastards took control

We stood back and watched it unfold

Won’t be angry, can’t be shocked

Sing it out 'cause it’s all we got

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had

I am all wished out

It’s not coming back, it’s not coming back

Man, it’s all that I had
