[Intro]
(2x)
[Verse 1]
Oh, the sun is shining far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh, the air feels so cold
So cold and old
How can it be light?
[Verse 2]
Oh, let's take a walk outside
See the world through each other's eyes
I wish I was your only one
I think you're beautiful
But your hair is a mess and your shoes are untied
But that's what I love best
[Chorus]
And I, I wish I was the one, you lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances, fairytale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say, "I'm your best friend every day"
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend, but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more
[Verse 3]
Now the grass is so green
But I can't see anything
Past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile
Your cherry lips make life worthwhile
I'm thinking these things what I'm trying to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause life gets in my way
Every single day
[Chorus]
And I, I wish I was the one, you lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances, fairytale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say, "I'm your best friend every day"
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh, I love you like a friend, but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more
[Bridge]
Now the sun is fading, now the rain is coming down
And I'm looking at your face when you're looking at the ground
I see diamonds in your dreams, I see pearls around your neck
I see everything that's beautiful, oh, everything that's beautiful
[Chorus]
I, I wish I was the one, you lonely, lonely son
And you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances, fairytale romances
Every single day
And you look at me and say, "I'm your best friend every day"
But I wish for something, wish for something more
[Outro]
Oh, I love you like a friend, but let's not pretend
How I wish for something, wish for something more
