Badly Drawn Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cards left on the table
That we set
And placed our bets
And the time spent
Remembering the things
We should forget
And not regret
But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
Is it true that
It's better to have loved and lost
Than not
Have loved at all
And we aimed high
So at the risk of falling short
We'd still stand tall
Right through it all
But I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
At first the wall is much higher than it seemed
And the roots by now
Are much deeper than the seeds
But we could grow again
If we just tell ourselves
We've been through this before
Tell me is it strange that
I don't remember falling out of love
Yet the bolt's undone
And the storm came
Arrived without a warning
Unannounced, like a distant sound
Well, I just wanna wish you happiness
For the time that I was with you
And the rest
And the times that I imagined
Losing you
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause what you wish for
Just might come true
