Wish I Was You
From Wishing to Shining: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I used to wish I was you
I had a desire in the past to be in your position
Now you wish you were me
Now, you desire to be in my position
I always felt small and shy
I always felt insignificant and reserved
You were such a shining light
You were an impressive and prominent figure
I love to see you in the spotlight
I enjoy seeing you in the center of attention
I love to watch you all night
I find pleasure in observing you throughout the night
You were spinning round and round
You were moving in circles, possibly metaphorically indicating a downfall
As you fell to the ground
You fell to the ground
Everybodys favourite girl
You were everyone's favorite girl
Hanging with the coolest
You associated with the trendiest individuals
Did you make the cool list
Did you achieve a status of being considered cool?
I used to wish I was you
I previously desired to be in your position
Now you wish you were me
Now, the tables have turned, and you desire to be in my position
So many brilliant people
There were many exceptional people I wished to emulate
I wished I could be
Time has moved me forward, and I am content with who I am
Time has carried me forward
Recognition of a certain expression or emotion in your eyes that indicates a desire to be like me
Now I'm happy with me
I understand and accept myself now
I see that look in your eye
Observing a particular look in your eyes that suggests a fleeting desire or envy
A tell tale fleeting sign that flashes by
A noticeable sign that quickly passes, revealing your inner feelings
And I realise
I come to the realization
That you'd like to be me
That you wish to be in my position
Hanging with the coolest
You associate with the trendiest individuals
Did you make the cool list?
Did you achieve a status of being considered cool?
I used to wish I was you
I previously desired to be in your position
Now you wish you were me
Now, the tables have turned, and you desire to be in my position
Lets be brilliant
Let's be exceptional or outstanding
Lets be brilliant
Reiteration of the desire to be brilliant
I used to wish I was you
I previously desired to be in your position
Now you wish you were me
Now, the tables have turned, and you desire to be in my position
