I Wish
Cher Loyd ft. 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
In "I Wish" by Cher Lloyd ft. T.I., the singer is deeply in love with someone who is in a relationship with someone else. The song is an expression of the pain that comes with unrequited love. The opening lines ("He takes your hand, I die a little/I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles") express the powerlessness and uncertainty that the singer feels when she sees the person she loves with someone else. She longs for the same kind of connection with the person she loves, but feels trapped by her own inability to express her feelings ("My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped").
Throughout the song, the singer imagines what it would be like to be with the person she loves ("With my hands on your waist, while we dance in the moonlight/I wish it was me, that you'll call later on 'cause you wanna say good night"). She longs for the opportunity to show her love and care for the person she loves, but also recognizes that she can't force her way in ("If only time, could just turn back").
The chorus of the song ("But I see you/With him slow dancing/Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see/Whenever you/Kiss him, I'm breaking/Oh how I wish that was me") is a painful reminder of the distance between the singer and the person she loves. Despite her longing and her pain, she is powerless to change the reality of the situation.
Line by Line Meaning
He takes your hand, I die a little
Seeing you with him hurts me deeply
I watch your eyes and I'm in riddles
Your gaze leaves me confused and longing
Why can't you look at me like that?
Why can't you see me the way you see him?
When you walk by, I try to say it
I want to tell you how I feel when I see you
But then I freeze, and never do it
I can't gather the courage to speak up
My tongue gets tied, the words get trapped (Trapped)
I am unable to express my emotions coherently
I hear the beat of my heart getting louder, whenever I'm near you
Being close to you makes my heart race with anticipation and longing
But I see you
With him slow dancing
Tearing me apart 'cause you don't see
Watching you dance with him is painful because you don't notice me
Whenever you
Kiss him, I'm breaking,
Oh how I wish that was me
Seeing you kiss him hurts me deeply, I wish I could be in his place
He looks at you, the way that I would
Does all the things, I know that I could
If only time, could just turn back
He treats you the way I wish I could, if only I had the chance
'Cause I got three little words that I've always been dying to tell you
I have been wanting to tell you how I feel with three simple words
With my hands on your waist, while we dance in the moonlight
I wish it was me, that you'll call later on 'cause you wanna say good night
I imagine holding you close as we dance, and later talking to you before we go to sleep
Oh how I wish
Oh how I wish
Oh how I wish, that was me
I can't help but wish 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
Baby, I seen the chick you're with, wish that I never did
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
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)

Wish I woke up with a butt and a rack
'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)
