Wish You Well
Transmit Now Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With no rules, I'm just trying to win this one.
Well I've been splicing negatives together just to fill out this frame.
Now how would have thought at all?
I see you coming over my way. I have to go...
I wish you well.
This is starting to break,
Starting to break me down.
I long for days wasting time in your bed
And we'd say there's no place on this earth we'd rather be.
But now I know, better and whether it's better or not just to leave you
Alone.
Now who would've thought at all?
I see you coming over my way. I have to go...
And I wish you well.
I wish you well.
This is starting to break,
Starting to break me down.
