I Wish
Wishing for Love: Jesse Boykins III Unveils Yearning Desires
Lyrics
I could tell by the way she held me (by the way she held me)
Observing the way she held me indicated something
She was looking for love (she was, she was)
She was seeking love earnestly
A beautiful woman living her life
Describing her as beautiful and living her life
But how lonely she was (so alone, so alone)
Despite her beauty, she felt very lonely
And I could tell by the way she glanced at me
Noticed the way she looked at me
(I always caught her staring )
Repeatedly caught her staring at me
She was a little afraid
She seemed a bit scared or apprehensive
Afraid of expressing her true feelings
She feared expressing her true emotions
But her body language always gave it away (gave it away)
Her body language revealed her feelings despite her silence
(Gave it away)
Reiterating how her body language gave away her emotions
I wish I could be the man she ran to
Desire to be the person she seeks comfort in
I wish I could be the man she yearned for
Wishing to be the man she deeply longs for
I wish I could be the man she dreamt of
Wishing to fulfill the role of the man she dreams about
I wish I could be the one
Desire to be the chosen one in her life
And I could tell by the conversations
Understanding her willingness to grow through conversations
She was willing to grow
She was open to personal development
(She was willing to grow)
Reiterating her readiness to grow personally
Take the timeout to learn some things
Willingness to invest time to learn new things
And I'd take the time out to show
Ready to show and share experiences
And I could tell by the long goodbyes
Noticing her reluctance to say goodbye for long
She never really wanted to leave me
She didn't truly want to leave
(She never really wanted to leave me)
Reiterating her reluctance to part ways
And I could tell you a lot of things I think I know
He has insights about her but needs confirmation from her
But I won't be sure 'til she tells me (tells me)
He's uncertain until she confirms things personally
If Only she'd give in and give herself to me
Expressing a desire for her to open up emotionally
I wish these visions were more than make believe
Wishing that his thoughts about her were real
If only I had a chance
Desire for an opportunity to assist her
I'd wish to simply help her stand
Wishing to support her through difficulties
If only we were more than friends
Desire for a deeper relationship beyond friendship
I'd wish to make the aching end
Wanting to alleviate any emotional pain she may feel
(Oh I wish)
Expressing the wish for certain things to happen
If only she could see
Desire for her to perceive something important
I wish, if only
Reiterating wishes for certain things to occur
I wish I could be the man she ran to
Repeating the desire to be her source of comfort
I wish I could be the man she yearned for
Repeating the wish to be the man she deeply desires
I wish I could be the man she dreamt of
Repeating the wish to fulfill her dreams
I wish I could be the one
Repeating the wish to be the chosen one in her life
Be the one
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be significant to her
Be the one
-Be the one
