Guster - What You Wish For Lyrics






Woke up today to everything grey
And all that I saw just kept goin on and on
Sweep all the pieces under the bed
Close all the curtains and cover my head
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
If this serenade is not what you want
It's just how it is, it keeps goin on and on
Come out, come out where ever you are
Would you do it all over right from the start
And what you wish for won't come true
You aren't suprised love, are you?
So what you wish for won't come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
Once had this dream, crashed down in Oz
Not black and white, but where the colors are
I never dreamed that I would let her go
And I will get what I deserve
Keep all the secrets under the bed
Open the curtains, forget what I said
And what you wished for could come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?
So what you wished for could come true
You aren't surprised love, are you?

    It's incredible that the group's first album offering is still the most popular 20 years later...........bravo!!!

  2. P.... B....

    I was just going through the 400 DVD's on my Sony 400 DVD player and I pulled up a Movie called, "*Life as a House* "(which I must have ripped about 240 years ago and never watched--- this tune is at the beginning of that Movie. The movie definitely starts off---off-beat and I just took to this immediately--enough to google the lyrics and track it down. There's something about it I really like--well several things actually, the close harmonies ("(Repeat after me just a little bit closer)"...are wonderful. The instruments devised innovative.

    There's a bit of a raw edge musically, critical vocal register shift to high cracks every-time--probably by design (the high harmonies are very pure) it all just WORKS. Many rifts and turns unfold just off center--it catches us leaning the other way and does mildly surprise us (as per the lyrics) AND, amuses and delights us. Totally love this thing. And yeah I write songs for whatever that's worth.
