wishin' on stars k

[Verse 1] I let her go on a golden wind Told myself it was the right thing then Said, “Girl, you’re a diamond, I’m a stone You deserve a kingdom, not a rolling soul” I watched her leave with my heart in tow Thought I was noble, but what did I know? [Chorus] Now I’m wishin’ on a hundred stars Playin’ truth on a beat-up guitar Maybe a little bit of luck and a little bit of fate Can bend time back before it’s too late I could be the man she was waitin’ to see If love’s got mercy, let it fall on me [Verse 2] She walked barefoot through my guarded mind Planted flowers in the cracks of time But I was busy chasin’ ghosts and gold Too scared of fire, too proud to hold I said, “Go find better” , like a fool But I should’ve tried to be better too [Chorus] Now I’m wishin’ on a hundred stars Slingin’ prayers through these smoky bars Maybe a little bit of luck and a little bit of grace Will bring her back from that far-off place I could be the man she believed I could be If fate’s still listenin’, come set me free [Bridge] There’s a note she left I never did read Folded tight in the pocket of my old blue jeans Now it’s worn and frayed but the ink still glows It said: *"You were always more than you know…"* [Verse 3] So I’m walkin’ home through a midnight town With every step, I lay old fears down Might not be perfect, but I’ve got soul And a fire that’s burnin’ to make her whole If the stars align and the wheel turns right She might find me waitin’ in the morning light [Final Chorus] Still wishin’ on a hundred stars And hitchin’ dreams to this beat-up heart Maybe a little bit of luck and a little twist of fate Will open up her heart’s old gate I could be the man she once saw in me If love still lingers in destiny [Outro] So here I am, not runnin’ away Wishin’ on stars that I’m not too late...
