I Wish You Love
Robert Mosci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversation with the flying plates
No more pain, no more strain
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch drunk
The pulled-out fur of cat and cur
The fine mis-mating of a him and her
I've learned my lesson, but I wish I were
In love again
The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words "I love you, till the day I day"
The self-deception that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again
When love congeals, it soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heals
I wish I were in love again
No, no more care, no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now), but I'd rather be punch drunk
Believe me, sir, I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her
I don't like quiet and I wish I were
In love again, in love again, in love again
In Robert Mosci's song, "I Wish You Love," the lyrics detail the singer's experiences with love and the tumultuous and at times painful aspects of it. The first verse mentions sleepless nights, daily fights, the rush of emotions when reaching the heights, and missing both the good and the bad moments in love. The second verse speaks about broken dates, endless waits, and the highs and lows of loving and hating someone. The flying plates mentioned in the verse may imply domestic violence, which is echoed in the line "the blackened eye" later in the song. Despite the lessons learned from these experiences, the singer expresses a longing to be in love again.
The third verse takes on a different tone as the singer looks back on their painful experiences and realizes that they would rather be "punch drunk" with love than to continue without it. However, this newfound appreciation for love remains grounded in reality - the memories of the pulled-out fur of a cat and a cur, and the mis-mating of incompatible couples linger in the singer's thoughts.
The final verse speaks to the singer's preference for the classic battle of 'him vs her' and their distaste for quietness. There is recognition of the self-deception that comes with believing a lie, and the bitter taste of betrayal. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet reflection on the singers' experiences with love and a longing for it despite knowing the pain it may bring.
