I Wish
Yearning Echoes: Unraveling the Emotion Behind Alex Lloyd's 'I Wish'
Lyrics
Why are we so cold
Questioning the emotional distance or aloofness in a relationship.
Why are we so numb
Expressing a sense of emotional numbness or detachment.
How did it get like this
Reflecting on how the relationship reached its current state.
On the sidewalk in the pouring rain
Describing a poignant moment on the sidewalk in the rain.
In the spotlight did you feel the same
Asking if the intensity of being in the spotlight was mutual.
I wish for us I do
Expressing a desire or hope for the relationship.
I pray for us
Expressing a prayer for the well-being or improvement of the relationship.
Out and over or don't you think that's true?
Pondering whether moving on is a valid option.
Do you think that's true?
Seeking confirmation or agreement on the possibility of moving on.
When it's said yeah when it's done
Reflecting on the finality of words and actions in a relationship.
Not one place to run
Expressing a feeling of being trapped with no escape.
When it's said and done
Reiterating the finality of a situation when it's over.
I wish for us I do
Repeating the desire or wish for the relationship.
I pray for us
Repeating the prayer for the well-being of the relationship.
I wish for us I do
Reiterating the wish for the relationship.
I pray for us
Reiterating the prayer for the relationship.
Lay down, lay down your guns
Advocating for peace by metaphorically suggesting putting down weapons.
Lay down when it's said and done
Encouraging surrender or acceptance when a situation concludes.
Lay down it's just no fun anymore
Expressing that the current state of affairs is no longer enjoyable.
On the sidewalk, in the pouring rain
Recalling a poignant moment on the sidewalk in the rain.
In the spotlight don't ya steel my pain
Questioning if the pain felt in the spotlight was stolen or shared.
I wish for us I do
Repeating the desire or wish for the relationship.
I pray for us it's true
Reiterating the sincerity of the prayer for the relationship.
I wish for us I do
Repeating the wish for the relationship.
I pray for us
Reiterating the prayer for the relationship.
