100

Brandi Carlile · Bear Creek [2012]

When I'm blowing out the candles

And when people start to sing

I will always cross my fingers tight

I remember everything



But I always make my wishes

For the same thing every time

If I live to be one hundred

If I ever it getting right



My mind is racing with thoughts

And the songs that never end

And I prayed to God last night

Before I went to bed



Even now I can't remember

A single word he said

If I live to be one hundred

If I get it through my head



I always think about you

And I have to close my eyes

If I live to one hundred

Will I ever cross your mind



When you close your eyes at night

And you rise above your life

Do you notice there's an empty space

Where I wasn't by your side



Because I always dream about you

Every time I close my eyes

If I live to be one hundred

Will I ever cross your mind



I always make my wishes

For the same thing every time

If I live to be one hundred

Will I ever cross your mind
