Wish I Never Met You
Chris Holsten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shook up here, so I'm out of flow
And I want love
But I've been waiting for ya
Soft, our scent
Still lingering on your skin
So I keep begging for ya

Touching your hand in the back of the cab
Reminds me of all that we had
And I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
Kissing your lips just to feel what I missed
Though it tastes like someone else
And I don't wanna let you go
'Cause baby now I

See your face everywhere I go, and I
Wish I never met you
No way back to what we had and I (wish I never met you)
No I never should have crossed that line
Someone else is on my mind
'Cause now I see your face everywhere I go, and I
Wish I never met you

Ghost of her
Keeps haunting me, honestly
'Cause I keep falling for ya
I don't mind
Haven't felt this good in a long, long time
I just wanna hold ya

And I kiss your lips just to feel what I missed
Though it tastes like someone else
I don't wanna let you go
'Cause baby now I

See your face everywhere I go, and I
Wish I never met you
No way back to what we had and I (wish I never met you)
No I never should have crossed that line
Someone else is on my mind
'Cause now I see your face everywhere I go, and I
Wish I never met you

Wish I never met you
Wish I never met you

See her face everywhere I go and I
Wish I never met you
No way back to what we had and I (wish I never met you)
No I've never should have crossed that line
Someone else is on my mind
Now I see her face everywhere I go and I
Now I

See your face everywhere I go and I (wish I never met you)
Wish I never met you
No way back to what we had and I (wish I never met you)
No I never should have crossed that line
Someone else is on my mind
'Cause now I see your face everywhere I go and I
Wish I never met you

Wish I never met you
No I never should have crossed that line
Someone else is on my mind




'Cause now I see your face everywhere I go and I
Wish I never met you
