[Verse 1]
[F]
I’m wishing you well
From the edge of the bed
Your mug still by the sink
Your coat by the door
Clock keeps ticking slow
But I still look over
Like you might walk in
Like you did before
The house feels too big
With your name in it
I fold up your notes
And I lose my grip
Things I wish we said
Stay stuck in my throat
Things I still remember
Hit like broken glass
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Now the hall feels cold
And the frame looks wrong
Every little sound
Makes me think you’re home
I keep holding on
To the last soft light
But the room goes quiet
Every single night
[Chorus]
[M & F]
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
Clock keeps ticking by
And I still can’t tell
How to let you go
How to say goodbye
Things I wish we said
Still live in my mind
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
No longer here with us
But I feel you still
Things I still remember
Won’t fade, won’t fade
I’m wishing you well
In my own way
[Verse 2]
[M]
I see your old boots
By the cracked front step
That same red stain
On the porch wood left
We laughed too loud
In that tiny car
You sang off-key
With the windows down
Now your chair stays still
And the clock stays mean
I rehearse your name
Like a half-sung scene
Things I wish we said
Keep turning around
Things I still remember
Won’t back down
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
I hear your old phone
When the room gets late
Reach for your reply
Then I stop and wait
If love leaves marks
Then you’re everywhere
In the dust on the shelf
In the open air
[Chorus]
[M & F]
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
Clock keeps ticking by
And I still can’t tell
How to let you go
How to say goodbye
Things I wish we said
Still live in my mind
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
No longer here with us
But I feel you still
Things I still remember
Won’t fade, won’t fade
I’m wishing you well
In my own way
[Bridge]
[F]
If I could send one line
Across that distance
It would not be regret
It would be thanks
For every small thing
You never made loud
For every hard day
You helped me through somehow
[M]
So rest that tired heart
Let the dark be kind
We keep your laugh
In the back of our minds
And when the night folds in
We’ll say your name
Not to hold you back
Just to keep you safe
[Chorus]
[M & F]
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
Clock keeps ticking by
And I still can’t tell
How to let you go
How to say goodbye
Things I wish we said
Still live in my mind
I’m wishing you well
I’m wishing you well
No longer here with us
But I feel you still
Things I still remember
Won’t fade, won’t fade
I’m wishing you well
In my own way
