about

Follow up to "Wishing Well" from 2013.

lyrics

Made me a spreadsheet
Kept all my receipts
But now my defeat
Feels pretty much complete

He takes off his glasses
Sets them down on the table
Gathers his thoughts
As best as he is able

"Was it love that you were thinking of?"
But before I can speak
He says, "Looks like our time is up now
Guess I'll see you next week"

He says, "Your donations
Were not tax deductible
No refunds for lack of judgment
Or for the gullible"

"You spent your life at the wishing well
If I understand correctly
You threw away everything"
Then he asked me directly

"Was it love that you were thinking of?"
But before I can speak
He says, "Looks like our time is up now
Guess I'll see you next week"

I paid good money
Waited so long to see
Now I'm standing empty-handed, feeling crash-landed
Guess the joke's on me

The wishing well takes
Til there's nothing left to give
Bucket hits bottom, smoke em if ya got em
Yeah, what a way to live

"Was it love that you were thinking of?"
But before I can speak
He says, "Looks like our time is up now
Guess I'll see you next week"

Oh, you poor fool

He takes off his glasses
Sets them down on the table
Gathers his thoughts
As best as he is able

"Your donations
Were not tax deductible
No refunds for lack of judgment
Or for the gullible"

"Was it love that you were thinking of?"
But before I can speak
He says, "Looks like our time is up now
Guess I'll see you next week"
