I Wish
SoMo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish we'd go back to the heart of it all
We were born and raised to love with our soul
City wide
We were running wild
So young and so bold
We'd never grow old, whoa, no

I wish for the sunny days
And the moonlight ending on your face
You and I and a little grace
Don't give up it'll be a waste
See a star fallin' from the sky
Shinin' bright like a lullaby
Oh, I
Ohh

I wish I may, I wish I might
I told you things I wish I lied
Oh, if I may, oh, if I might
I'd take back things I did that night
I wish I may, I wish I might
I told you things I wish I lied
Oh, if I may, oh, if I might
I'd take back things I did that night

Wish we'd go back to the normal days
When we could laugh through the pouring rain
Need to fall back into what we made
Wearing, wearing all black since you walked away
Missin' those eyes when we'd conversate
Holding my breath when you're not with me
Losin' my head over what has changed
Been, been fallin' up since you walked away

Flip it on back from the other side
Don't fill it up with doubt 'cause your lover lied
I'm singing this out till you come back lo-love 'round
'Cause you know your lover tried
Flip-flip it on back from the other side
Don't fill it up with doubt 'cause your lover lied
I'm singing this out till you come back lo-love 'round
'Cause you know that your lover tried


I wish I may, I wish I might
I told you things I wish I lied
Oh, if I may, oh, if I might
I'd take back things I did that night
I wish I may, I wish I might
I told you things I wish I lied
Oh, if I may, oh, if I might
I'd take back things I did that night
I wish I may, I wish I might
I told you things I wish I lied




Oh, if I may, oh, if I might
I'd take back things I did that night

These visuals are absolutely amazing, I never thought I would find that one singer that I've been obsessed with for years and never got bored of and you have truly blown me away. I will forever and always be a fan of Somo. I wish you nothing but the best in life.

Your music has gone from being covers to someone looking for a one time thing to looking for love and now it has the soul of a man that has learned and loved, grown from his mistakes but also want to move forward and be a family man. That's the vibe I get from your music. I love the constant evolution of your music lyrically.
