Wishing I Was With You
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Regret and Longing in 'Wishing I Was With You'
Lyrics
We were so close to forever
We were very close to a lasting relationship.
I've tried to stay away but you've won me over
Despite my attempts to distance myself, you have successfully won me over.
Now I'm lying here waiting for the day
Currently, I am lying here, eagerly anticipating the day.
You take my hand as I, as I say
You'll take my hand, and I'll express my feelings.
I'm waiting here for you
I am patiently waiting for your presence.
I want you to stay
I desire for you to stay.
I want you here
I want you here with me.
Now please hold me
Please hold me now.
And I'll stay far away
I'll keep my distance.
Now you're with someone new
Now you're involved with someone new.
And I'll be here wishing I was with you
Meanwhile, I'll be here, longing to be with you.
We were so close to being over
We were almost at the point of ending our relationship.
A single thread of hope kept us from being pulled under
A fragile strand of hope prevented our complete separation.
Now I'm lying here regretting the day
Now I'm lying here, regretting the past.
I left your side still you say
Even though I left your side, you still express.
I'm waiting here for you
Again, I'm waiting for your return.
I want you to stay
I hope you choose to stay.
I want you hear now please hold me
I want you here; please hold me.
I'll stay far away
I'll maintain my distance.
Now you're with someone new
Now you've moved on to someone new.
And I'll be here wishing I was with you
Yet, I'll remain here, wishing to be with you.
Ooh, ooh
(Instrumental section)
I'm waiting here for you
I continue to wait for you.
I want you to stay
I want you to stay by my side.
I want you here now please hold me
I desire your presence; hold me now.
And I'll stay far away
I'll maintain my distance.
Now you're with someone new
Now you're with someone new.
And I'll here here wishing I was with you
And I'll remain here, wishing to be with you.
And I'll here here wishing I was with you
Repetition of the longing to be with the person who has moved on.
And I'll here here wishing you were wishing I was with you
Continued expression of the desire to be with the person who is now with someone else.
