Candour Lyrics by Neck Deep

Wishful Thinking

2014

[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
Yesterday saw you missing
Drawn to the light in the distance
Holding her hand while she listened
She told him how much she would miss him
Said his goodbyes to his children
And let the weight fade away

[Verse 2: Ben Barlow & Laura Whiteside (together)]
I have your hands
But I have my mother's eyes
Your tact and poise
And her sense of wrong and right
Heard you awake in the middle of the night
Letting go of the things you keep inside

[Verse 3: Ben Barlow]
Worked your fingers to the bone
To be sent home with a cardboard box
Filled with everything you've known
All things come to be loved and lost

[Verse 4: Ben Barlow & Laura Whiteside (together)]
I'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame
A small reminder of the days I thought would never change
They always say it's clear to see
How parts of you shine through in me
I think you know, you won't be here forever
And you're counting down the days
'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip away

[Verse 5: Ben Barlow]
The lessons learned at your side
Will stay with me all my life
The man I hope to become, I know is deep down inside
I know, you don't even need to say
I know you're proud in your own way
I know you're proud in your own way

[Outro: Ben Barlow & Laura Whiteside (together)]
And you watched me grow up
As I watched you grow older
The chip off your block, held me up on your shoulders
I wish I told you yesterday

[Instrumental Outro]
