No one could hear me calling From where I fell. And from above the ground I could faintly hear The world and all her sounds Songs, vows, playgrounds, tears. I fell in a wishing well Now the damage is done And who, who have I become? Not even angels saw me From tall starry skies. And then a searchlight shone upon me Bright in my eyes. For all this time I prayed You might come around. Now stranger I'm afraid I might call you down. I fell in a wishing well Now the damage is done And who, who have I become? I'm through with my dream come true. Then it's just begun And who, who have I become? Opened my eyes and woke up twice this morning Lately getting up has only got me down. Maybe there's a place where I can live again Never leave the ground. I fell in a wishing well Now the damage is done (Now the damage is done) And who, who have I become? I'm through with my dream come true And it's just begun. Who, who have I become? **Semisonic - Wishing Well** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Got your tape and it changed my mind Heard your voice in between the lines Come around from another time Where nobody ever goes All alone on the overpass Wired and phoned to a heart of glass Now I'm falling in love too fast With you or the songs you chose And all the stars Play for me Say the promise you long to keep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I've been living in your cassette It's the modern equivalent Singing up to a Capulet On a balcony in your mind In the City the lion sleeps Pray to Sony my soul to keep Were you ever so bright and sweet Did you ever look so nice And all the sounds Dream for me Dive me down in a soul so deep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep **Semisonic - Singing In My Sleep** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Saturday morning alone and barely feeling Sitting at home after rocking and a-reeling All night in a cat fight With the only one who can make me cry Open the blinds and the world is in rotation Shaking my mind like an Etch-a-Sketch erasing Sunshine, you were bad, I'm Still mad but I can't remember why I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind Rolling along to the song that aggravates us Beckoned on by the mirage of an oasis Hurry, I'm getting blurry And it's no longer clear in my mind I believe you know me well I react like you're ringing a bell Are you sorry that you treat me unkind Never you mind I believe I got you down You react like anybody else around Are you sorry that we wasted our time Never you mind Sometimes it takes all my time guessing why I can't figure it out Sometimes it takes all my energy just to forget about All the memories that I'd be better off without I believe you know me well Switch on the box Mr. Spock is on the table Dr. McCoy is unable to connect his brain Sweatin and strainin Well it seemed so simple at the time **Semisonic - Never You Mind** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning comes and morning goes Now it's me against the sun The day goes by and darkness grows And it's over before it's done Well I know it'll be alright if I just get on the road If I run I can free my worried mind Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load But I wouldn't want to leave you behind All my time keeps creeping on Now I've grown into a man But Mr. Child still wants to run From the cradle to the van Keep thinking it'll be alright if I just get on the road If I run I can free my worried mind Keep thinking of the day I die when I lose my heavy load But I wouldn't want to leave you behind. **Semisonic -
