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 realise 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 realise 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 realise now

And I wish

I wish, I wish

That I told you then what I realise now

And I wish, I wish

That I told you when you were still around
