I see your wishes on the wall, and that's all right with me
   I see you run to make a call, hoping that there's someone free
   your life and my life they don't touch at all, and that's no way to be
   we've never seemed so far
  
   what's real? what is true?
   I ain't turning my back on you
   where're you goin'? where've you been?
   making wishes, watching dreams
  
   it might be simple, it might be true, I might be overwhelmed by you
   you might be empty, the way your eyes just look right through
   it's such a mess now anyway, wish fulfillment every day
   I don't believe you, now I can't hear a word you say
  
   I see you shaking in the light, reading the headline news
   the others they're not quite so bright, we want them to choose you
   I could almost see your face tonight, singing simple rhythm'n'blues
   you'll always be a star
  
   shake it baby! come'on scream!
   just see your face in a magazine
   don't doubt it! leaves Chris sore! (?)
   I can't stand it anymore
  
   it's my favorite shot of you, you look so pretty your eyes were true
   I'm still on your side, in spite of everything you do
   we're only blood on blood on life, you paint me pictures every night (?)
   come wish beside me, don't you know you know what's right
