I Wish

(album: Ride - 2002)

Every minute I'm away from you
Is a minute I can't get through
Wish I knew just what to do
Cause it doesn't feel right
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I can hold you in my mind
But it never really satisfies
Wish I could keep dreaming

I wanna tell you what I've been going through
I want to hold you close to my heart
And make you smile again just like I did back then
I would but we're so far apart

Wish you were here instead of my tears
Wish I could close my eyes and make you appear
Wish I could snap my fingers back to the time when you were mine
And I wish that hocus pocus could change your goodbye

Girl I wish you could see these eyes baby, I apologize
Should've been there when you cried, can you forgive me
I know I say these words in vain, right now you can't hear my pain
Wish that like the rain, you'd come down from the sky

I never told you how much I love you
Just let that moment pass me by
I couldn't see it, what you really needed
Now that I know it, I wish you can hear this

Wish you were here instead of my tears
Wish I could close my eyes and make you appear
Wish I could snap my fingers back to the time when you were mine
And I wish that hocus pocus could change your goodbye

Wish you were here instead of my tears
Wish I could close my eyes and make you appear
Wish I could snap my fingers back to the time when you were mine
And I wish that hocus pocus could change your goodbye

I just can't stop thinking about us, if you can hear this
Grant me these wishes
Oh

Starlight... star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I may... wish I might
Have my wish tonight
Starlight... star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I may... wish I might
Have my wish tonight

Wish you were here instead of my tears
Wish I could close my eyes and make you appear
Wish I could snap my fingers back to the time when you were mine
And I wish that hocus pocus could change your goodbye

Wish you were here instead of my tears
Wish I could close my eyes and make you appear
Wish I could snap my fingers back to the time when you were mine
And I wish that hocus pocus could change your goodbye
