Five For Fighting lyrics : "The Devil In The Wishing Well"

I met Jane at the center of the earth
It was dark there was dirt all around
But I gather you can figure that


Jane says I'm your body in the night
And I'll lead you where you might find yourself

Better if you follow me

So go right you'll be left at a big hotel

You'll meet the devil at the bottom of a wishing well
You know you better give him something
Give him something good

Like everybody else he's misunderstood

Jane says it's a long way out...

I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about her


Jane says, you're as Holy as a ghost,
But who loves you the most, if you offer
I might let you carry me


Jane there's nobody here but yourself
In the end it's the wealth of your spirit

Now hurry up get on with it

I went left I got right at some big hotel

There was a devil at the bottom of the wishing well
He said you better give me something
Give me something good

Like everybody else I'm misunderstood

Jane says it's a long way out

I'm gonna make it out
Cause I'm about
Jane says it's a long way out

I'm gonna make it out

I took a guess and cut a portion out of my heart

He said that's nowhere close enough but it's a damn good start
I wrote the secret that I buried on the wishing well wall
He said I've seen one... it follows that I've seen them all

We spoke of human destination in a perfect world
Derived the nature of the universe (found it unfulfilled)
As I took him in my arms he screamed I'm not insane

I'm just looking for someone to understand my pain...

It's a long way out...

I'm gonna make it out
