Wishing Lyrics

Standing outside your door
I look crazy to the world
I have been to this place before
The right guy for the wrong girl
I wish I could awaken from a dream
That I just don't wanna believe
That I'm sitting here waiting for you
And I know you're walking away from me

I don't wanna say the words
That everyone seems to know
I put you in every room with me
Right where I go
I wish I could awaken from a dream
That I just don't wanna believe
That I gave a beautiful freak like you
Power and control all over me

Please don't leave me
Please don't go
I don't wanna be alone

Wishing don't count for much
when I think of what is gone
I refused to believe in luck
Now when it comes to my luck
I wish I could awaken from a dream
That I just don't wanna believe
That all the bad things I've done in my life
Are coming back to torture me

Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't wanna be alone
Please don't leave me
Baby please don't go
I don't know how to be alone

You walked into my life
Like you walk into a crowd
I just don't know how you obsessed on me
I wish that I could see what you saw in me
All the things you said that you liked so much
Are now the things you say you hate
Now all I wanna do is start over again
Now all I wanna to do is try to make you wanna stay

I'm sorry to sound so lame
But you're leaving way too late
Just tell me what I need to say
That will make you wanna stay

Please don't leave me
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't tell me
That it is time for you to go
Please don't leave me
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't tell me
That it is time for you to go
I don't know how to be alone
I don't know how to be alone
I don't know how to be alone

Please don't be cruel
Please don't do to me
The horrible things that I did to you

Everclear is a rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 1992. For most of its existence, Everclear consisted of Art Alexakis (b. 12 April 1962, Los Angeles, California, USA; vocals, guitar), Craig Montoya (b. 14 September 1970; bass, vocals) and Greg Eklund (b. 18 April 1970; drums). Eklund replaced original drummer Scott Cuthbert in 1994. Montoya and Eklund departed the band in 2003, but Alexakis has continued performing as Everclear with a new lineup.

After a solo tour in the fall of 2003, Alexakis decided to continue with Everclear, organizing a new band that made its debut in March of 2004. The new lineup consisted of bass player Sam Hudson, guitarist Dave French, and drummer Eric Bretl. In the summer of 2004, the band added keyboard player Josh Crawley, and swapped Bretl for former Everclear drum tech Brett Snyder. The new lineup released its first recording, a cover of Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land, that summer. A self-released EP of performances recorded for XM Satellite Radio called Closure was given out at shows in the fall of 2004.

Free of a major label, Alexakis spent the ensuing year and half slowly recording material for a new Everclear release. He admitted that the time after the breakup of the original lineup served as a "wake up call", during which he suffered his third divorce and a filing for bankruptcy. Alexakis announced the completion of the album in early 2006,titled Welcome To The Drama Club. The new band is now on Eleven Seven Music.

In August of 2008, drummer Brett Snyder left the band after four years. He was then replaced by Tommy Stewart, who previously played in bands Fuel and Godsmack. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
