I Wish
Krista & Mark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I was that car out in your garage tonight
Lately it's the only place you've been spending all your time
If you'd give half as much attention to this half of us
Maybe we'd be running right
I wish I was that car
Wish I was that wrench then I could feel your calloused hands
How'd I let that old Chevelle roll right in and steal my man
But if you'd give half as much tender care to this half of us

Maybe we'd be rolling right
I wish I was that car tonight
Maybe if I begged you baby
We could go for a slow drive
Then we'd both be satisfied
Roll out all the way to the edge of town
Pretend that we broke down
You could spend a little time workin' on us
Oh Maybe if I begged you baby
We could go for a slow drive
Then we'd both be satisfied
Roll out all the way to the edge of town
Pretend that we broke down
You could spend a little time workin' on us
Wish I was that car but now you've got it up on blocks
It's gonna be a long, long time before I'm getting what she's got
But if you'd give half as much sweet lovin' to this half of us
I tell you we'd be up all night
I wish I was that car tonight

So baby come inside tonight
I wish I was that car

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Krista & Mark's song "I Wish" speak about a fun time being had by the singer with a group of people, including two girls named Adrenaleen and Oblivia. The singer admits to not knowing exactly where they are, but that they are having a wonderful time regardless. The singer also acknowledges that the thought of not knowing their location has crossed their mind, but that they don't really care. The line "Hey it's not me it's you" implies that there may be some tension or conflict between the singer and the person they are addressing.

Throughout the song, the singer focuses mostly on the present moment and their enjoyment of it, rather than worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. The use of the names Adrenaleen and Oblivia, as well as the reference to one of them being called 'Cliche,' may suggest a commentary on the nature of artificiality and superficiality in social situations.

And so it's time we say hello
It's time to introduce ourselves

Hey it's not me it's you
It's not my fault, it's yours

I'm sure I'll see you some other time
We'll probably see each other again

Before the night is through
Before the night ends

She said her name was Adrenaleen
Her name was Adrenaleen

But people called her Cliche
But she was known as Cliché to everyone else

Her and her sister Oblivia
Adrenaleen and her sister Oblivia

Were both on holiday
They were both on vacation

Anyway I'm having a wonderful time
I'm enjoying myself regardless

Wish I knew where
I wish I knew where I was

I'll admit that it's crossed my mind
I have thought about it
