wish you weren't his
Yearning for a Love Unattainable: 'Wish You Weren't His' by Matthew Wright
Lyrics
I wanna hold your hand, and say way too much
Expresses a desire to be close and communicative with the person.
Tell you all of the things, you don't hear enough
Desires to share unspoken feelings that the person may not hear often.
Call you daily for no reason at all
Wants to maintain regular contact without a specific reason, driven by affection.
Cause I love the way you talk
Expresses admiration for the way the person speaks.
I wanna kiss your smile, and not second guess
Expresses a desire to affectionately kiss the person's smile without doubt.
Watch your favourite rom-coms, and cry at the end
Wants to share emotional moments, like watching romantic comedies and crying together.
Hold you close when you sleep and believe
Desires to provide comfort by holding the person while they sleep.
This is what I've been waiting for
Feels that the current situation is what they've been waiting for.
But I know it's a fantasy
Recognizes that these desires might only exist in a fantasy and not reality.
My thoughts get the best of me
Admits that their thoughts sometimes overcome them.
Cause you're someone else's teenage dream
Acknowledges that the person is already in a relationship, a dream for someone else.
Wish that my heart could let me be
Expresses a wish to let their heart free but finds it challenging.
But stay here a while, let me savour the moment
Requests the person to stay a while to savor the current moment.
Before you go
Expresses the desire to enjoy the present before it ends.
Never thought I would feel like this
Reflects on unexpected emotions, possibly love.
I wish you were mine and not his
Expresses a longing for the person to be theirs instead of being in another relationship.
I wanna be who you call up, when things go bad
Desires to be the go-to person in difficult times and gain approval from the family.
Get your mother's approval, and fight with your dad
Wants to share a long-lasting relationship story with friends.
Tell the story of the day we first met
Wants to reminisce about the first meeting with the person.
To our friends years from now
Imagines sharing the story with friends in the future.
But I know it's a fantasy
Acknowledges the unrealistic nature of these fantasies.
You'll always be out of reach now
Recognizes the distance and inaccessibility of the person.
Cause you're someone else's teenage dream
Reiterates that the person is the dream of someone else.
Wish that my heart could let me be
Expresses difficulty in letting go of the desire for the person.
But stay here a while, let me savour the moment
Asks the person to stay and enjoy the current moment a bit longer.
Before you go
Reiterates the desire to savor the moment before it ends.
Never thought I would feel like this
Reflects on the unexpected intensity of emotions.
I wish you were mine and not his
Expresses the longing for the person to be theirs instead of someone else's.
Tell me those sweet little lies that I love
Desires to hear comforting lies from the person, even if temporary.
Kiss me goodnight when the cab picks you up
Wants affectionate gestures like a goodnight kiss despite knowing it may not last.
Say that I'll see you again when I know I won't
Expresses a desire to hear optimistic promises even if they may not come true.
Give me a sign I'm not out of my head
Wants a sign that their feelings are not irrational or unfounded.
I know you can't cause I know that I am
Admits awareness of their own emotional state but cannot escape it.
But I'll still be thinking of you when I'm on my own
Commits to thinking about the person even when alone.
Cause you're someone else's teenage dream
Reiterates that the person is the dream of someone else.
Wish that my heart could let me be
Expresses the challenge of letting go of the desire for the person.
But stay here a while, let me savour the moment
Asks the person to stay and enjoy the current moment a bit longer.
Before you go
Reiterates the desire to savor the moment before it ends.
Never thought I would feel like this
Reflects on the unexpected intensity of emotions.
I wish you were mine and not his
Expresses the longing for the person to be theirs instead of someone else's.
