On That Note: I Wish

[CycloneRulzzz]

Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you can to control me, oh (You can't control me)

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

And now you want somebody to cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody that could come and make it right




Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off



So make a wish
I'll make it like your birthday everyday

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Sometimes I wish I could turn back time
Impossible as it may seem
But I wish I could so bad, baby
Quit playin' games with my heart



Your every wish will be done
They tell me

 

[pourcyne]

… Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever

 

[baller21]

I know who put the bodies in the wishing well

 

[baller21]

And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
With a "**** you" (ooh, ooh, ooh)

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I hold on so nervously to me and my drink
I wish it was coolin' me



With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?




I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear



You told me a hundred times
How your father left and he's gone
But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy
When we're gettin' it on




My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then, I walk alone

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?



Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

But it gets her to where she's going to (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)
Where that is, I wish I knew
I don't know where she's going

 

[Buster28]

"Wish You Were Here" by Barbara Mandrell. It was a Billboard #2 song on the Hot Country Singles chart in November, 1981. It hit #1 in Cashbox magazine that same month and the same week the "Live" album that spawned it went to #1 on the Cashbox Country Albums chart. This was the follow-up single to "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool", her biographical signature song.

 

[CivEFootball]

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell



If I had just one wish, only one demand
I hope he's not like me, I hope he understands



Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
A wish right now
A wish right now
(And a couple other in the lyrics)

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

What is this song all about?
Can't figure any lyrics out
How do the words to it go
I wish you'd tell me, I don't know

 

[cyclones500]

“And it’s white noise and wishes” // “I wish warm weather on your upturned face”

 

[cyclones500]

Not my favorite R.E.M. track (mainly due to oversaturation in its heyday) … I like it well enough to use it!

“If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.”

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry




the villain goes to jail, while the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Been fueling up on cocaine and whisky
I wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord, I wonder if I'll ever change my ways



Wish I could shut my playboy mouth (Oh, oh, oh-oh)
How'd I turn my shirt inside out? (Inside out, right)

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be




We could've had it all (you're gonna wish you)
(Never had met me)



But I wish that you were here with me
Well then there's hope yet

 

[cyclones500]

 

[cytor]

If only I could make you see another point of view
If only wishes would come true...

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
