I Wish

歌詞

I was ten years old when I realized Some goodbyes are forever So what's that mean for you and I? Thought we'd always be together How can the person who taught me to breathe Take their last breath right in front of me? I know too much now I wish I could still see the world through those eyes Could still see the colors But they're not as clear or as bright Oh, the older we get, the colors they change Yeah, hair turns to gray, but the blues here to stay So I wish, I wish I remember seeing my dad cry For the first time, we were downstairs Talking 'bout how his dad died And how he wished he could've been there He said How could the person who taught me to breathe Take their last breath now in front of me? I know too much now I wish I could still see the world through those eyes Could still see the colors But they're not as clear or as bright Oh, the older we get, the colors they change Yeah, hair turns to gray, but the blue stays the same Oh, I wish, I wish Stay a little longer I'm not ready for you to go It hasn't even happened But I have been mourning since ten years old Stay a little longer I wish I could still see the world through those eyes Well, I still see the colors But they're not as clear or as bright Oh, the older we get, the colors they change Your hair turns to gray, but the blues, yeah, they stay So I wish, I wish
