Wellwishers - Umphrey's McGee

When you’re waiting for an answer that you’ve already heard

Then you’re drowning in the moment ‘cause you never leaned to swim

As the distance grows between the shores, you know how this could end

Are you thankful for your well wishers, who put you on your way

Or bitter ‘cause your currency is lost in the exchange

So forget about your handfuls, when it’s worthless you’re sublime

As the sun begins to grow red you’re running low on time

I have to wonder, are you stuck under clouds of possibilities?

Or can’t you turn against those urges?

They’ll desert you, guaranteed

If nothing’s certain then that’s worse than this confusion as it intrudes on

you and me

If you fit into your pattern, it should come as no surprise

As it’s the safest the stars that shatter you learn to be polite

So be hopeful as a candle is worried for its flame

The more that you could handle here, the less you feel the same

I have to wonder are you stuck under clouds of possibilities

Or can’t you turn against those urges?

They’ll desert you, guaranteed

If nothings certain than that’s worse than this confusion as it intrudes on you

and me
