I Wish
Anders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I saw you and went crazy
Now I know he's yours
But I hope that you don't mind
That I wish you were mine
Yeah I wish you were mine
This new lover calls me lazy
But she knows we're running blind
'Cause we pretend that she won't find
That I wait for resolve, that maybe he'd fall
Fate don't let me down
That I'll stay on the side, so maybe he'll hide,
Still I hope that you don't mind
That I wish you were mine
Yeah I wish you were mine
Yeah I wish you were mine
Yeah I wish you were mine
But what would I do with you?
Is it the chase I love?
I've only ideas of you
And no concept of us
No we wouldn't last
And even though I give up
I still wish you were mine
Anders's song "I Wish" is a complex reflection of unrequited love and the hopes, desires and fears that come with it. The lyrics start with a sense of confusion as Anders questions why people around him cannot see that he has lost his sanity due to his obsession with someone. He acknowledges that the person he is pining for is in a committed relationship but cannot help the way he feels. He refuses to give up hope, expressing his wish for her to be his.
As winter sets in, the sense of despair deepens, as Anders's new lover challenges him, calling him lazy. He is transparent about his infidelity and acknowledges that they are both living in a messy web of lies. Yet he waits, hoping that fate may intervene and make the person he's been fixated on, available to him. He acknowledges that his feelings may stem from the chase rather than genuine affection and confesses that he only has idealized ideas of the person, and not a real concept of what an actual relationship with them would look like.
Ultimately, Anders accepts that they wouldn't last and that he needs to give up his fantasy. However, he still wishes that she was his, indicating that despite the reasons that insist he cut ties, his heart still yearns for something different.
Overall, "I Wish" is a poignant reflection of the complicated emotions involved in unrequited love. Anders speaks to a universal feeling of the desire for something that cannot be had, yet remains persistent regardless.
