Head under water
I don't know which way is up
The light and the dark, they all blur together
Now I'm stuck
Or maybe I've given up
The stars in the sky
Well, I thought they were mine
Like I was owed them
Fly up there
Build a rocket out of thin air
Take them home
But they were all lies
They were dreams I made up in the dead of night
And somewhere along the line
Well, I guess they might've died
My genie in a bottle
You've given me some trouble
Where's my three wishes?
I never got ‘em
I've wished upon so many stars
They never got me very far
Now I'm stuck sitting all alone in the dark
I've blown out all my birthday candles every year
So why the hell am I sitting here sucking in this water?
My genie in a bottle
You've given me some trouble
Where's my three wishes?
I never got ‘em
Lips turning blue
Wish I could show you
How much my eyes lit up
When I thought about all the awesome things I was gonna do
Now that I'm down here
I guess I don't look like much
But I assure you I had dreams just like you
But then they fell right through my arms
‘Cause they were all lies
They were dreams I made up in the dead of night
And somewhere along the line
Well, I guess they died
My genie in a bottle
You've given me some trouble
Where's my three wishes?
I never got ‘em
I've wished upon so many stars
They never got me very far
Now I'm stuck sitting all alone in the dark
I've blown out all my birthday candles every year
So why the hell am I sitting here sucking in this water?
My genie in a bottle
You've given me some trouble
Where's my three wishes?
I never got ‘em
Oh, and my lungs fill up with water
They're burning and it won't stop
Wasn't how I was supposed to end up
Oh, and my lungs fill up with water
They're burning and it won't stop
Wasn't how I was supposed to end up
My genie in a bottle
You've caused me so much trouble
Where's my three wishes?
I never got ‘em
