I'm gonna check my scars at home Gonna cash my chips and roam Gonna walk before you fade to black I'm gonna write a new resume I'm gonna write you off the page I'm gonna take what we might take away And you will find a brighter You might find a brighter day Oh And in another year The pain will disappear and I Will look back on this life as if it were a scene In a film somebody made for you and me I wish you well Oh I wish you well Na na na na na na na I wish you well She wants to be set free Wants the space to feel love and be angry and I I watch her bounce off the walls While the chips they start to fall And then in a little while I see That distant smile returning Just like a ghost in a dream That we had way back when And then she'll turn and smile and say Come again Oh And in another year The pain will disappear We'll look back on this life as if it were a scene Somebody wrote about you and me Somebody wrote about you and me I wish you well I cannot believe There's nothing left to save Hard as a hammer she wants me To come again and again (And in another year) I'm down on my knees (The pain will disappear) Won't you come again Don't you need relief Don't you need relief And in another year The pain will disappear and I Will look back on this life As if it were a scene And in a little while I see That distant smile returning Just like back in the days When we were so naive In a film somebody, somebody made I wish you well I wish you well Oh I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well Na na na na na na I wish you well
