Been saving up wishes, for years now it seems; on eyelashes fallen from my brow, on pennies in fountains and streams, on clocks that read 11:11 and wishbones broken apart -- when I'm holding my breath through tunnels, I'm wishing for your heart. I would never tell a soul. That could keep my wishes from coming true! But if a song like this would make a difference, then I'm ready to pour my heart out to you. Been saving up secrets for years now it seems; of quick-forgotten kisses, and my broken, anxious dreams, those heated conversations about loves I thought had passed -- I wish that I could say for sure that anything good ever lasts. But I will never tell a soul. You know I bury my secrets deep. I've got room for two, just me and you. We'll put those brief lives back to sleep.
