Anthea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Expecting a call from you
Let's talk it over
But you never knew
I want to hear you say
How you trust in me
And I sing today
Well let's wait and see
only existed
I'd let you see the best of me
If you only existed
I made a picture of you
Inside my head
We'd be prefect together
Yet I'm lonely and cold in bed
I want to feel you near
Smell the skin you're in
I want to feel you near me
But you've never been
If you only existed
only existed
I'd let you see the best of me
If you only existed
I mediate
Ease the pain
Always
Always
Mediate
I wait
Always
Always
Mediate
Ease the pain
Mediate
Always
Mediate
Ease the pain
Mediate
Always
I wish you existed
I wish you existed
I wish you existed
Wish you existed
The lyrics of Anthea's song "I Wish" convey a feeling of longing and yearning for someone who doesn't seem to exist in reality. The song begins by describing how the singer is waiting for a call from someone they want to talk to and resolve their issues with, but that person never knew. The singer then goes on to describe how they have created a picture of this person inside their head, imagining a perfect relationship with them, but the reality is they are lonely and cold in bed. The chorus repeats the phrase "If you only existed" which emphasizes the idea that the singer's perfect partner is simply a figment of their imagination.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's desire for intimacy, describing how they want to feel this imaginary person near them and smell their skin. However, this person has never been real, and the singer ends up meditating to ease the pain of their loneliness. The song concludes with the repeated phrase "I wish you existed", emphasizing the lonely narrator's desire for a connection with someone who may never exist.
Overall, "I Wish" is a poignant and emotive song that speaks to the universal human desire for connection and intimacy. The lyrics paint a picture of a person trapped in their own thoughts and longing for someone who may never be real.

I waited by the phone
I anxiously hoped for your call
Expecting a call from you
Anticipating to receive a call from you
Let's talk it over
Let's discuss and resolve our issues
But you never knew
However, you were unaware of my feelings
I want to hear you say
I desire to hear you express
How you trust in me
Your confidence and faith in me
And I sing today
And presently, I'm singing
Well let's wait and see
Regardless, we'll have to wait and watch what happens next
If you only existed only existed
If you were real, if you were here with me
I'd let you see the best of me
You would witness the superior qualities of my character
I made a picture of you
In my imagination, I created an image of you
Inside my head
In my mind
We'd be perfect together
We would make a great couple
Yet I'm lonely and cold in bed
However, I feel alone and empty in my bed
I want to feel you near
I crave your closeness
Smell the skin you're in
Savor and inhale the fragrance of your body
I want to feel you near me
I long for your presence beside me
But you've never been
Conversely, you were never here
I meditate, ease the pain, always, always
I practice meditation, to soothe my pain, always
I wait, always, always
I patiently wait, always
Ease the pain, meditate, always
To alleviate the suffering, meditate always
I wish you existed
I desire for you to exist
Wish you existed
I yearn for your presence
I wish you existed
I long for your being
