Wishing On Wishing

Slow, smoky electric blues ballad in 6/8, female vocals, Clean guitar with gentle tremolo, warm upright bass, brushed snare, and soft organ pad under the verses, Choruses swell with stacked harmonies and reverb-kissed lead licks answering each line, Final chorus climbs in intensity then eases into a tender, lingering outro guitar phrase, female vocals, blues

[Verse 1] Got a drawer full of journals Same wish on every page Keep circling the same old prayers Like a bird against a cage Rent due on my shoulders Heart living check to check Hope feels like a bill collector Breathing down my neck [Chorus] I keep wishing on wishing Like it's something I can hold Reaching for a sunrise In a sky that's always cold Give me something steady That don't vanish overnight More than just surviving I want a life that fits me right [Verse 2] I'm tired of learning lessons From fires I didn't start Walking through another winter In a paper-thin heart Friends say "it gets better" Like a verse they learned by rote But they don't see the storms I swallow Just to stay afloat [Chorus] I keep wishing on wishing Like it's something I can hold Reaching for a sunrise In a sky that's always cold Give me something steady That don't vanish overnight More than just surviving I want a life that fits me right [Bridge] Maybe hope's a quiet habit Not a lightning striking down One small promise to myself In this hand-me-down town So I'll stitch my little mornings To the edges of my nights Till the seams start feeling stronger Than the fears I try to hide (oh) [Chorus] I keep wishing on wishing But I'm learning how to stay Planting all these fragile dreams In the dirt of every day Give me something steady And I’ll meet it in the light More than just surviving I’m gonna build a life that fits me right
