Do You Wish It Was Me
Jason Aldean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And touches your face as you open your eyes
What are you thinking? Do you like what you see?
Is it all that you dreamed of, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
I know that you did what you thought you should do
It was safe and secure, so completely thought through
But you sacrificed passion, and abandoned your dreams
Baby, was it all worth it, or do you wish it was me?
Does each kiss seem closer to the first or the last
Is the fire still raging, or has it burned down to ash?
Do the memories haunt you? Do they beg and they plead?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Is the life that you've chosen free from regret?
Or is what mine has been just too hard to forget?
Has the glitter all faded? Do you get what you need?
Are you satisfied, baby, or do you wish it was me?
Are you satisfied baby?
Mm, yeah
Or do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Oh, do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Do you wish it was me?
Whoa
Jason Aldean's song "Do You Wish It Was Me" expresses the regret and longing of a man for his lost love. He paints a picture of a morning when the sun is slowly chasing the moon from the sky and the woman wakes up. He wonders what she is thinking and if she is happy with the life she has chosen. He asks if it is all that she dreamed of, or does she wish it was him beside her. He wants to know if she is completely satisfied with her decision, or if she sometimes wistfully thinks about their past life together.
Aldean then wonders if the woman's life is free from regret or if she is haunted by memories of their past. He wants to know if she is still passionate about her life, or if she has abandoned her dreams. He is curious if she is completely satisfied with her partner or if she sometimes wishes it was him that she was sharing her life with. Aldean's voice packs an emotional punch as he asks these questions, questioning the choices they both have made.
The lyrics reveal a man who wishes he had held onto the love of his life and seems to be conflicted by the fact that the woman he loves moved on with her life without him. The song ends on a melancholic note as he asks the woman if she wishes it was him.

I lost my one true love shortly after high school due to cheating on her and lying about it for 2 years. 10 years later, not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about her. The day she got married to someone else, my heart died inside. Her marriage didn't work out and now we are going to get a second chance. Prayers and dreams really can come true. It is going to be my life's goal to make this woman happy and make sure I never lose her again.
