I Wish
Mr. Midas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh i tried to dance but couldn't didn't have any motivation
Sat around for half an hour tryna leave because you have a boyfriend
You say hi to me I freeze
Way too sober tryna leave
Oh I wanna see you dance
Pour your soul out through romance
But i'm too sober i know its over
Got me latched for a long ride
I wont be home tonight
Instead of in my bed you'll be in my head
In reality its always me who looks at you
But when you see me you stare back and smile I think you want me to
Don't try and lie when I look in your eyes
Cause ill know if you do I've had lots of practice to
I just wanna get high
Forget all about tonight
I hold the future in my hand
Now that I look back I wish I danced
I wish I danced
I wish I danced
I wish I danced
I wish I danced
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo
Looking back is something I don't usually do
That's why I hate it when I think of you
Because I know ill never stand a chance
You submerge me in a dying, a dying romance
I don't wanna do the same thing
I couldn't care less you can blame me
I just wanna go home and play my guitar
And write a song about how beautiful you are from afar
I just wanna get high
Forget all about tonight
I hold the future in my hands
Now that I look back I wish I danced
The song "I Wish" by Mr. Midas is about a young man's regret of not dancing with a girl he is attracted to at a party. He explains how he lacked the enthusiasm to dance because he was sober and uncomfortable in the environment. The boy is aware that the girl is aware of him, and he believes that the girl smiles back at him because she wants him too. He also describes how he wished he could have danced with her and how it was a missed opportunity.
Throughout the song, Mr. Midas grapples with his regret, and he wished he could have gotten the chance to dance with this girl. The lyrics culminate in the chorus of "I wish I danced," describing the regret he feels for not taking the chance to dance with her. He realizes that he acted too cautiously and missed a significant opportunity with someone he is attracted to. He says he wants to get high to forget about this missed opportunity, but he knows the future is in his hands.
The song is a straightforward and relatable narrative about missed opportunities that everyone has been through but written in a poetic and alluring way. It captures the essence of the young, awkward stage of life, and the mixed feelings that come with attraction, insecurity, and regret.
