Discover the story of the song > Three Wishes – The Pierces

The protagonist wishes they were made of metal and had an armor to protect their emotions. They wonder if they could still love each other and feel emotions if they were invulnerable. They also wish for three things: the ability to fly, the ability to swim, and a wish to save for a rainy day in case their partner leaves them. The song also warns that trying to change their partner will only make their anger worse. The protagonist then lists more wishes, including never being bitter and having a clean conscience, but they still want to be prepared in case their partner leaves.
