Lyrics

Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

Front door slams again

Dishes breaking in the sink

I'm pressed against my bedroom wall

Counting seconds till I think

Pre-Chorus

And I whisper to the silence

Something only you would know

Chorus

Come on down my wishing stone

Wrap me up and take me home

Somewhere far from shattered glass

Somewhere I can breathe at last

Come on down my wishing stone

I'm not strong enough alone

Verse 2

You appeared when I was seven

Said you'd never leave my side

Cracks in the ceiling spelled your name

And you pulled me through the tide

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm older and I'm tired

But I still need you to know

Chorus

Come on down my wishing stone

Wrap me up and take me home

Somewhere far from shattered glass

Somewhere I can breathe at last

Come on down my wishing stone

I'm not strong enough alone

Bridge

And the cello hums like thunder

Mellotron sighs through the gray

But you're standing in the doorway

Saying run away

Run away

Run away

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Come on down my wishing stone

Wrap me up and take me home

Somewhere far from shattered glass

Somewhere I can breathe at last

Come on down my wishing stone

I'm not strong enough alone

Outro

You're not real but you're the only

One who's ever really known

Oh my wishing stone

Oh my wishing stone
