Lyrics
I wish that my dad would stop by sometime
I desire my father to visit at some point
Just to say hi and I‘m on his mind
To greet and convey that he's thinking of me
And that he misses me and wishes things were fine
Expressing longing for reconciliation and a wish for improvement
And if it’s alright he stop by sometime
Seeking permission for him to visit
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
Reiteration of personal desires and hopes
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
-I wish that I could tell my brother sorry sometime
Expressing a desire to apologize to the brother
And that he means more to me than my own life
Affirming the brother's significance
And I’ve been thinking that I want to make things right
Expressing intent to make amends
And if it’s alright I stop by sometime.
Requesting permission to visit the brother
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
Reiteration of personal wishes and aspirations
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
-God I wish that things could have worked out differently,
Wishing for a different outcome and recognizing potential for change
But I know that it’s not too late for us to make a change
-God I wish the rains could just wash away the pain
Expressing a desire for emotional cleansing and brighter future
And open up the skies so we can all see brighter days
-Yea I tried to ignore it when you would never do what you said
Reflecting on unfulfilled promises and disappointment
I wish you would had been there more then, I try to just smile and forget that you almost missed all my birthdays, those presents don’t make up for your mistakes
Recalling missed birthdays and acknowledging material gifts don't compensate
Pretending that shit didn’t affect me but we can fix this it’s not too late
Believing in the possibility to repair the relationship
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
Repetition of personal wishes and aspirations
These wishes of mine, oh these wishes of mine
-God I wish that things could have worked out differently,
Expressing a desire for a different past and belief in present change
But I know that it’s not too late for us to make a change
-God I wish the rains could just wash away the pain
Wishing for relief from pain and a hopeful future
And open up the skies so we can all see brighter days
-These wishes of mine, (these wishes of mine)
Continued emphasis on personal wishes
Oh these wishes of mine (oh these wishes of mine)
-These wishes of mine, (these wishes of mine)
-Wishes of mine (oh these wishes of mine)
-I wish that my dad would stop by sometime
Reiteration of longing for father's visit and improved relationship
Just to say hi and I‘m on his mind
-And that he misses me and wishes things were fine
-And if it’s alright he stop by sometime
