This is the first single from my upcoming EP. It is a vast departure from much of the work I have put out with previous bands. I hope you like it.

lyrics

If I could snap my fingers and turn back time
Not really sure how it would go
Maybe I could change her mind

Back then when the world seemed easy
Everything was open wide
And we tripped to the other side

Ooh wonders never cease
I guess that's just the way things have to be

Taking it home and taking it easy
Taken it about as far as I can
Well I hope you understand

Searching trying to find an ally
Someone who might be far away
Maybe I'll save it for another day

ooh wonders never cease
I guess that's just the way things have to be

She's still gone and I'm still waiting
I'll wait until the waiting's done
And there's nowhere left to run

If I could rub a bottle and make a wish
I'd wish that you were here with me
I guess we'll just wait and see

ooh wonders never cease
I guess that's just the way things have to be

ooh wonders never cease
I guess that's just the way things have to be
