[Verse 1]
I said I wanted summer and the morning brought the sun
I said I need a lover and by the next night I had one
I said I wanted a hurricane and the wind blew hard and the wind blew strong

[Chorus]
Careful what you wish for
Tearing back the wishbone
Careful what you wish for
Tearing back the wishbone

[Verse 2]
I wished to live forever but ain't that hard for you and me
There ain't no heart at the centre of the earth far as I can see
Now I think it's time, babe, that you lay your head in the bed you've made

[Chorus]
Careful what you wish for
Tearing back the wishbone
Careful what you wish for
Tearing back the wishbone
(Careful what you wish for)
(Tearing back the wishbone)
