Wishing I Was There

(album: Left Of The Middle - 1998)

Take your hand and place it in my pocket
Flick your eyes back in their sockets
Put those thoughts away
Sometimes they're much too loud

I'll take a breath and cradle your sweet head
Should've stayed at home in bed
Put that face away
I'm melting for you

I know
I get cold
'Cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident-prone
Me,
I get free
Every night the moon is mine

But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there

I dreamt about another girl in bed with you
You just laughed and smiled denied the proof
We're fine 'til I think of the problem

I wish it made sense like a joke that no one gets
It's a life without regret
I want it to feel that way, forever and ever

I know
I get cold
'Cause I can't leave things well alone
Understand I'm accident-prone
Me
I get free
Every night the moon is mine

But when the morning comes
Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
Boy I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

No, don't say you love me
Don't say you need me
I really don't think that's fair
I'm not so dumb
But when you leave me
I'll be wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you

Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there with you
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I was there
Wishing I—, wishing I—, wishing I...
