I wish there was a drawbridge and the Tasman was a moat
And I wish I could be with you less aeroplane or boat
And the longer I am a loner, the slipperier the slope
And I wish there was a drawbridge and our fears were the moat

I wish I was a butterfly and you were one too
But as it is, we don't know how to fly, we're only cocoons
And the longer I am a loner the less I'll need you
I wish there was a drawbridge, but we let go too soon

I wish there was a drawbridge between hopeless and hope
And I wish there was a drawbridge and my tears were the moat
