In life you'll wish for wonderful In love you'll wait, you'll wait You can walk away from the water, you could run away You could start again with another There's a setting sun where you once found you were in love Danny met Dakota looking deep into the wishing well Danny couldn't write so Dakota taught him how to spell Dakota told Danny she was falling in love But Danny couldn't speak when Dakota grew up Woahhh Dakota spent the summer chasing boys and smoking cigarettes Her first tattoo was a violet on the back of her neck Dakota left school when she moved down south She never knew why Danny wouldn't open his mouth So she (wooo) she ran away (wooo) from the wishing well Danny got a job and he kept every promise he made Dakota got married let the memories slip away Danny never wrote though he often cried Dakota missed Danny but she didn't know why Dakota found her husband in a hotel with her very best friend She tried to make it work but she couldn't trust him again Dakota moved back to the wishing well But she never told Danny cause she couldn't tell If he still (wooo) held a flame (wooo) for the love (wooo) That Dakota stole when she went (wooo), away (wooo), from the wishing well (Go back, go back, to the wishing well) Months went by Dakota knew where Danny could be found Once a year he waited by a deep stone hole in the ground Dakota found Danny where they first had met She took his hand and she told him, "Friend, don't let (wooo) me run away (wooo) Again (wooo), from the love we found when we met (wooo) looking deep (wooo) into the wishing well"
