Name: Wishing
Duration: P00H06M06S
Description: This song is about the uncertainty we all face when thinking about the future, and the futility of wishing instead of making things happen. As the longest song on the album, we wanted it to be a sonic journey and, to that end, it features a mean bass solo... if you're into that (we definitely are).

lyrics

It's quiet all around me
Quiet in the blue
The sun is getting filtered
Just trying to cut through
It's quiet all around me
Quiet as a tomb
I'm lying underwater in my cold lagoon

I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Ya I've been wishing for something
But wishing doesn't make it true

How will I know what I have to do
Does a part of you die when you have to choose
Oh I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Doesn't make it true
Doesn't make it true
So how will I know what I have to do

The decisions I was making, I didn't understand
Can I direct my thoughts or do the thoughts direct the man
The way that I was headed, I didn't stand a chance
Now I'm trying to move forwards doing everything I can

Cause I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Ya I've been wishing for something
But wishing doesn't make it true

How will I know what I have to do
Does a part of you die when you have to choose
Oh I've been wishing for something
Wishing like you know I do
Doesn't make it true
Doesn't make it true
So how will I know what I have to do

How will I, how will I, how will I
How will I, how will I, how will I
