[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
