Wish

I don’t know what you’re doing
Sleeping on her couch
I don't know how to tell you
That I'm missing you now
from her 50th-floor apartment,
Are there things you can’t see?
Like how I wanna call you
But I don't have it in me

And if you’re still out there
Back under the sun
Would you let her stay over
Or does it still feel wrong?
When you’re with her alone
Are there things you don’t move?
Like your heart when you whisper
I wish it was you

wish it was
wish it was
wish it was

wish it was
wish it was
wish it was

wish it was
wish it was
wish it was

When you finally get there
Your son’s in a band
Would he play the violin
Like your mother has planned
In the midst of all the noises
Are there songs you still sing?
like the ones I wrote for u
When I was 19

And she’d say “I love you”
You’d say I’ve heard it before
You stormed out the door
don’t know what you’re so mad for
in the blink of an eye
water turned into steam
and the ghosts that still haunts you
they wish it was me

wish it was you
wish it was you
wish it was you
wish it was you
Wish it was me

Sometimes
In the middle of the night
I’d stare into your eyes
i can’t let go
it takes control
I can’t resist it

Sometimes
in the middle of the day
Tears running down my face
but surely
Oh honey
I can’t

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes don’t know what to do
Sometimes I wonder if you want her or just something to do
You might think that you’re killing time
But you’re killing me

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I’d try calling you
’til I picture the look on your face when you’re with someone new
And I know you have your ghosts
They all look just like me

And I look at you lay in her arms
And I wish it was me
