Wish

At the Piccadilly station
I felt my heartbeat racing
I didn’t know no better
And on that Camberwell Road
I found a mirror for my soul
And I didn’t need no other
I was accident prone,
I fell head over heels with no warning
And in spite of my vertigo
I never felt myself falling
And I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realize now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around
That night in Whitechapel girl,
I know what should have happened
I just left you standing there
Meanwhile I became a man from New York City to Japan
But that don’t give me satisfaction, yeah
We’re only victims of timing
And on that cold summer night
I know I’m a fool for not trying
And I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realize now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around
I wish that I could rewrite all the things that we both let go
And I wish that I could just turn back the time and tell you
I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realize now
And I wish
I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realize now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around
