I Wish
M.M.C. vs. Inshizzo Lyrics

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
Referring to the struggles and arguments in a romantic relationship that often lead to sleepless nights

The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
Describing the fast-paced thrill of falling in love, and the excitement of reaching new milestones in the relationship

I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
Expressing longing for both the passionate and tender aspects of a romantic relationship

I wish I were in love again
Conveying a desire to experience the highs and lows of a romantic relationship once more

The broken dates, the endless waits
Alluding to the disappointments and frustrations that can come with dating and waiting for someone

The lovely loving and the hateful hates
Referring to the ups and downs of a romantic relationship, with both positive and negative emotions

The conversation with the flying plates
A reference to domestic disputes, where household items may be thrown or otherwise expressed with frustration

I wish I were in love again
Repeating the desire to experience a new romantic relationship

No more pain, no more strain
Expressing relief from the difficulties of a romantic relationship, but with a sense of loss or yearning for something more

Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch drunk
Describing a sense of sanity and stability, but with a preference for the intense emotions that come with romantic love

The pulled-out fur of cat and cur
A metaphor for the intense arguments and animosity that can come with a dysfunctional relationship

The fine mis-mating of a him and her
Referring to the challenges of finding a compatible partner, and the subtle incompatibilities that can arise in a romantic relationship

I've learned my lesson, but I wish I were
Conveying a sense of having learned from past mistakes, but still yearning for the positive aspects of love

In love again
Continuing the expression of desire to experience romantic love once more

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
Contrasting moments of tenderness and affection with moments of violence and hurt in a romantic relationship

The words 'I love you, till the day I die'
Referencing a common romantic promise, but casting doubt on its validity or truthfulness

The self-deception that believes the lie
Reflecting on how people can deceive themselves into believing in the reality of a romantic relationship, even when it may not be healthy or fulfilling

I wish I were in love again
Reemphasizing the desire to experience romantic love despite its challenges

When love congeals, it soon reveals
Metaphorically describing how the passionate intensity of love can quickly cool into indifference or even animosity

The faint aroma of performing seals
Suggesting that once the intensity of love fades, it can seem artificial or forced, like a circus performance

The double-crossing of a pair of heals
Referring to the betrayal and hurt that can come with a failed romantic relationship

I wish I were in love again
Despite the negative aspects of romantic love previously mentioned, the artist still prefers it to not being in love at all

No, no more care, no, no despair
Taking a more stoic or accepting approach to love, and relinquishing the emotional highs and lows

Now I'm all there (now), but I'd rather be punch drunk
Acknowledging a sense of stability and wellness, but still yearning for the intensity of romantic love

Believe me, sir, I much prefer
Addressing the listener directly, and stating a personal preference for the drama and intensity of romantic relationships

The classic battle of a him and her
Referring to the tension and conflict that can arise in romantic relationships, but framing it as a classic and worthwhile struggle

I don't like quiet and I wish I were
Stating a preference for the tumultuous nature of romantic relationships, and continuing the desire to experience it once again

In love again, in love again, in love again
Ending the song with a repetition of the central theme of the desire to experience romantic love once more
