Wish You Back To Me
Erika Jo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much time for me to think things over
Thoughts of losing you just linger on and on and on
I'm sitting here with my luck unchanging
Knowing I'm the one you're blaming
Words that keep repeating say
You're gone, you're gone, you're gone
I wish I may, I wish I might have
Loved you a little bit more in spite of
Who I was and how much I loved
That girl I used to be
Star light, star brightly shine on
How we've been too far apart for too long
If dreams of you ever do come true
Then dreams are all we need
So, I'm wishin' I could wish you back to me
I got no rhyme, I got no reason
I live my life somewhere between them
I'm everything that you don't need
And more and more and more
If the fairytale has ended
If I'm not the girl you once defended
Where's that knight with good intentions
Cause you swore, you swore
You'd never loved like that before
I wish I may, I wish I might have
Loved you a little bit more in spite of
Who I was and how much I loved
That girl I used to be
Star light, star brightly shine on
How we've been too far apart for too long
If dreams of you ever do come true
Then dreams are all we need
So, I'm wishin' I could wish you back to me
If every night sky hands us
Another million chances
I wish I may, I wish I might have
Loved you a little bit more in spite of
Who I was and how much I loved
That girl I used to be
Star light, star brightly shine on
How we've been too far apart for too long
If dreams of you ever do come true
Then baby, dreams are all we need
So, I'm wishin' I could wish you back to me
Yeah, wish you back to me
Fingers crossed and a four leaf clover
Too much time for me to think things over
