Every chance I get
(I wish) for you
(I could) wish on every shooting star, candle, 11:11
(Take) every penny and loose eyelash
But still you’d rather be on (your) own
I struggle to take a (breath) as you walk (away)
I try not to act (like)
(You) put the stars in the sky
But when it comes down to it
With every step you (take)
You blow me (away)
And I will keep on wishing
Until you’re (mine)
