Wishing Weed

I picked a wishing weed beneath your mother's tree
and i asked it to bring you back to me
then a dragonfly took it to the sky
and it rode on the wind until it caught your eye

And i'm never gonna get over you
not cause i can't, cause i don't want to
i'm gonna get you back if it's the only thing i do
i'm never gonna get over you..

I took the secret path to where i saw you last
and a sparrow dropped a letter to me as it passed
there was a simple sketch of a heart in red
and it broke me when i opened it cause all it said was:

"i'm never gonna get over you
not cause i can't, cause i don't want to
you know it's true that i'm gonna get you back
if it's the only thing i do
i'm never gonna get over you.."

of all the lovers found and lost
and never seen again
you're the only one that runs
repeating through my head...
