[Verse 1]
So what do you wanna be?
A handprint upon my history?
Or a claimant for the way that I'm perceived?
Bring out the best in me
Leave the rest asleep
I was in jail but you set the cuffs to hang free
[Chorus]
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
[Verse 2]
So who do I wanna be?
A poet or a cynical factory?
The smoke rises in plumes and I don't wanna breath in the fumes
I'm sifting through debris
My old life's collapsing around me
I see the empty rooms, and I thank the universe I have you
[Chorus]
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
Such distance, drop a wish into the river and hope for the sun
[Post-Chorus/Outro]
Hope for the sun
Hope for the sun
