Wish You Away
There for Tomorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do you go when you listen
To nobody else but yourself?
Where do you go?
You're so far from the willing.
You're in such a rush not to tell
So where do you go?

Oh, when getting in where you fit in
Doesn't get you one single thing,
Where will you go?
When the secrets
That you've been keeping
Get a hold of nothing at all,
I'd like to know.

Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away.

So where do you go when forgetting
What you had in store for yourself?
Drags me along

Because you keep running in circles.
You're blinded by everything
Just ask me if I know where to go (where to go)

Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
Oh, but until you've had all you can take
Can I wish you away?
(would you really go there alone?)
Can I wish you away?
(would you really go there alone?)

You said you'd be gone just another minute.
You're too far off to still be in it.
Don't act like your sleeping
When I can see you're wide awake.

Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.




But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away

Overall Meaning

The song "Wish You Away" by There for Tomorrow, explores the feeling of being lost and unsure about one's place in the world. The lyrics ask the question "Where do you go when you listen to nobody else but yourself?" which is followed by "You're so far from the willing...So where do you go?" These lines suggest that the person in the song is struggling to connect with others and that they are feeling out of place.


The chorus of the song seems to offer a solution to this problem. The singer asks whether they can "wish you away until you find your place" indicating that sometimes, it might be necessary to remove yourself from a situation or environment to figure things out. The lyrics also suggest that sometimes one can be too caught up in their own thoughts and feelings to see what's real.


The line "You said you'd be gone just another minute, you're too far off to still be in it" suggests that the person in the song is physically present, but emotionally checked out. The singer is trying to reach out to this person and bring them back into the moment instead of being lost in their own thoughts. Overall, "Wish You Away" is a song about feeling disconnected and searching for a sense of belonging.

I will keep hoping that you find a way to change and overcome your obstacles.
