I Wish
© juliana hatfield music

there's another who loved you and turned a light on in the dark
when you were crying she held you in her arms
but I can be what you want me to be
I wish
I wish

no one ever hurt us and no one ever will
we are the concrete on the earth that stands so still
and if you need to go away I will not cry
I am standing tall like a tree
I won't fall apart when you leave
and you're not scared by the darkness inside of me
I wish
I wish

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
what is this thing
that gives me faith
all the sorrow and the pain throw it back to yesterday
I wish
I wish
I wish
I wish
