Wish You Would Stay
Wishing for Time: Peter and the Ghosts' Poignant Musical Tale
Lyrics
I wish this moment would last for hours
I desire that this moment would extend for a longer duration.
I wish that I would have stayed here longer
I wish I had prolonged my stay in this place.
I was that my words could be stronger
I lament that my words were not more forceful or impactful.
I wish that I would have said it louder
I regret not expressing myself more loudly.
If I had known I would have said it clearer
If I had known, I would have articulated my thoughts more clearly.
Wish you would stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay.
My head has gotten the best of me again
My thoughts or emotions are overwhelming me once again.
I thought that I would break it to you then
I anticipated breaking the news to you at that moment.
I moved in close and didn't ask it
I approached without seeking permission or approval.
The night moved on I left unanswered
The night progressed, and I left without responding to a question.
Do you ever write songs like this one
Asking if the person ever creates songs with similar emotions.
Wish you would stay
Reiteration of the desire for the person to stay.
Upstairs is we used to get along
Recalling a time when things were harmonious between us.
We both left home and now we're underground
Both of us have left our homes and are now in a less visible or mainstream place.
I stayed up late to tell you stories
I stayed awake into the night to share narratives with you.
I left that day three in the morning
I departed on that day at three in the morning.
I drove you home in perfect silence
I drove you home in absolute silence.
And there we stayed
Describing a moment of staying together.
It's not my place to lay your ground
Acknowledging that it is not my role to establish your foundation.
It's not the time to be so loud
Emphasizing that now is not the appropriate time to be vociferous.
The weeks will pass without a sound
Time passing without noticeable events or communication.
I promise I will stay here now
Promising to remain in the current situation.
I read your feelings through a frosted glass
Observing your emotions through a distorted or unclear perspective.
I get like this until the memories pass
Experiencing emotional turbulence until memories fade.
I don't regret the time we had then
Expressing contentment with past moments despite not expressing oneself adequately.
I wish that I had said it again
Regretting not reiterating a sentiment.
I'm glad you're happy, keep it warm and safe
Expressing happiness for the person and a wish for their well-being.
I hope that I can join you there someday
Hopeful anticipation of joining the person in their contentment someday.
I'll be right here
Stating the intention to remain present.
I wish that you would stay
Reiterating the desire for the person to stay.
