Wishbone
Freya Ridings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the way you're looking at me is all I've got
With every wishbone I break
Every candle on every cake
Tell me that I'll see you again
Even if we have to pretend
Tell me that I'll see you again
You made my heart beat so fast
I was always counting down
And you held me in that slow dance
But there's no music now
With every wishbone I break
Every new day I face, ooh
Tell me that I'll see you again
Even if we have to pretend
And I don't even need to know when
Tell me that I'll see you again
Tell me that it's not the end
You make it look so easy, I know it's not
The song "Wishbone" by Freya Ridings talks about the feeling of missing someone deeply and holding onto hope of seeing them again. The singer acknowledges that they know it's not easy to be away from the person they miss, but the way that person looks at them is all they have to hold onto. The singer breaks wishbones and blows out candles with the hope that they will see this person again, even if it means pretending. The singer wants to know that there is a possibility of reunion, and it doesn't matter when it will happen.
The second verse talks about how the person they miss made their heart race and how they were always counting down the days until they saw them again. The slow dance they shared seems like a distant memory now. The singer faces each new day without the person they miss, hoping that their wishbone breaks will bring them closer to seeing them again. The chorus repeats again with the plea to be reassured that it's not the end and that they will see each other again.
