lyrics

D G Bm A
I take my wishes to the beach
make small boats from bark and leaves
put some love in one and each
and they set sail on troubled seas

they say tiny boats like that
will just descend into the dark ocean floor
they can never come back

G A D Bm
but that’s the thing with wishes
they don’t work if your mind's not set
G A
but reality will break if you just shake shake it like you do

One day not knowing what to do
you will stumble upon
A dirty piece of bark and leaves
and recognize where it is from

And you will put it in your pocket
and never let it go
and wherever you find yourself
You will let your wishes grow

G A D Bm
’cause that’s the thing with wishes
they don’t work if your mind's not set
G A
but reality will break if you just shake shake it like you do
