I Wish
Cher Lloyd (feat T.I.) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ever since you left, it's been cold
Why does it never end up working out?
Never understand where the situation goes
Yeah, I bet you really think about me all the time
Try to forget me, but your feelings start to multiply
It's funny how someone found love over a small device
You love somebody and forget 'em, guess you called at life
Try to forget about my heart or was it all take? (it was all take, it was all take)
What did we become?
I guess you moved on
You have nobody else to blame I guess it's on me
A couple messages went by, but you weren't talking
Now I'm all alone
I wish I was in love (oh, I wish I was in love)(oh, I wish I was in love)
Wish I was in love (oh, I wish I was in love) (oh, I wish I was in love, oh)
Tear me down and break me out
And I know that he's the only thing you'll think about
Wish I was in love
I'm disappointed in you
You left me for some other dude
But my heart's poisonous too
I still adore the old you
I wish I could get that back sometimes
I get so high to relax in my mind
Don't fuck with the system, I won't intertwine
These love games wrong, it ain't ever right
Why?
Did we always fight?
I tried to make it right, but you left and took a flight, uh
I guess I was right, uh
I'll forever be alone at night, uh
Still do not know why, uh
Honestly, I might run
What did we become?
I guess you moved on
You have nobody else to blame I guess it's on me
A couple messages went by, but you weren't talking
Now I'm all alone
I wish I was in love (oh, I wish I was in love)(oh, I wish I was in love)
Wish I was in love (oh, I wish I was in love) (oh, I wish I was in love, oh)
Tear me down and break me out
And I know that he's the only thing you'll think about
Wish I was in love
Oh, I wish I was in love
The song I Wish by Cher Lloyd featuring T.I. talks about unrequited love and the pain it causes. The singer who is deeply in love with someone is stuck in the friendzone and feels helpless watching them dance and kiss someone else. The lyrics describe the intense emotions of the singer; how she wishes that it were her instead of the other person the one kissing and dancing with the object of her affection. The na na na na na that runs through the song represents the frustration and confusion felt by the singer.
In the first verse, the singer watches the person she loves hold hands with someone else and feels helpless and confused. She wishes that the person could look at her like she is the only one in the room. In the second verse, the singer sees the person with whom she is in love do things that she knows she is capable of doing if only given a chance. She wishes that time could be turned back so that she could tell the person three little words that she’s always wanted to say.
The chorus is the most emotive part of the song, as it expresses the singer's deep hurt and longing. The singer's hands are on the waist of the object of her affection, dancing in the moonlight, but the person is not willing to reciprocate her love. The song shows how much it hurts when someone you love doesn’t respond in the same way, and how small gestures such as looking someone in the eye, holding hands, or slow dancing can feel like the most significant moments in a person’s life.

He takes your hand, I die a little
It hurts me to see him hold your hand
I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles
I'm confused by the way you look at him
Why can't you look at me like that?
I wish you would look at me with the same love and affection
When you walk by, I try to say it
I want to tell you how I feel when you walk by
But then I freeze, and never do it
I get too scared to express my feelings
My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped (Trapped)
I struggle to articulate how I feel
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder, whenever I'm near you
My heart races when I'm close to you
But I see you
But then I see you
With him slow dancing
Dancing slowly with him
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
Hurting me because you don't notice me
Whenever you
Every time you
Kiss him, I'm breaking,
It's painful to see you kiss him
Oh how I wish that was me
I wish it was me that you were kissing
He looks at you, the way that I would
He looks at you with the same love and admiration as I do
Does all the things, I know that I could
He does things that I know I'm capable of doing for you
If only time, could just turn back
If only I could go back in time
'Cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you
Because I have been wanting to tell you 'I love you'
With my hands on your waist, while we dance in the moonlight
Imagining holding your waist while we dance under the moonlight
I wish it was me, that you'll call later on 'cause you wanna say good night
I wish you would call me at night to say good night
Oh how I wish
I wish so much
That was me
That I was the one you wanted to be with

Ey, ha ha, make a wish girl
You deserve it
Uh-huh, ha, ha, yeah

Freakin' perfect and five foot ten, just wanna punch her lip, yeah
'Cause I know I've been wasting time tryna catch your eye, uh
Yeah I know that I been so blind thinking that I'm your type
And now I'm at home, I'm all alone
'Bout to pick up the telephone
Got to call my genie so he knows, yeah
I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast
Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash
'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
I wish I had style, I wish I had flash
Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack
'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
Uh-huh, yeah baby, I'm gonna keep it real, boy you da one I want
I don't own any five inch heels, just got my Nike's on
Never thought I was insecure, boy look at what you done (What you done)
I don't know what I studied for, clearly you like 'em dumb
And now I'm at home I'm all alone,
'Bout to pick up the telephone
Got to call my genie so he knows (So he knows) yeah

'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
Hey, now don't you wanna do somethin' baby,
With the roof gone, baby
Aston Martin look retarded like the coup gone crazy
I'm not sure what kinda fella you like
But I can give you paradise, have it however you like
I'm talking solitaire iced out, ring, watch, necklace
Ain't no talking reckless, girl, I'm certified respected, girl
Yeah, you like to run your mouth, well you about to learn a lesson, girl
Yeah, you the one but I'll replace you in a second, girl
And I ain't even trying to see you naked, girl wait
There I go exaggerate
Clearly carried away but what I'm saying you construed that
I wanna be wherever you at
So you wishing you could kiss me do you really wanna do that, eh?
Make a wish, girl (Yeah)
I wish I was tall, I wish I was fast
Wish I could shop with a bag full of cash
'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
I wish I had style, I wish I had flash
Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack
'Cause If I want you, I gotta have that (Come, come kiss me boy)
