I Wish
Tiffany Alvord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping that you will come around and
I can save your sweet soul from drowning
Running through the dark til you find it
Memories will bring you to life and
Take a breath before you rewind it
I wish a shooting star would come outside tonight
Walking through the fire and the fury
When they're screaming of their story
Write it down, we don't need a warning
Never play in the sun when it's raining
Do you hear the words that I'm saying?
Do you hear the silence I'm breaking?
I wish a shooting star would come outside tonight
I wish our beating hearts would shatter and collide
I wish (I wish), I wish (I wish), I wish tonight (I wish tonight)
I wish (I wish), I wish (I wish), I wish tonight (I wish tonight)
I wish a shooting star would come outside tonight
I wish our beating hearts would shatter and collide
I wish (I wish), I wish (I wish), I wish tonight (I wish tonight)
I wish (I wish), I wish (I wish), I wish tonight (I wish tonight)
The song "I Wish" by Tiffany Alvord is a heartfelt expression of longing for someone who is currently out of reach. The opening lines express a desire to throw a coin in a fountain, a classic wish-making gesture, in the hope that the person being wished for will be rescued from whatever difficulties they are facing. The metaphorical drowning of the person's "sweet soul" is a poignant image, suggesting that they are struggling with something deeply internal.
The lyrics then move into a more reflective mode, with the singer encouraging the listener to take a moment to reflect on their memories and to take a deep breath before trying to move forward. The line "Memories will bring you to life" is particularly meaningful, as it suggests that even painful memories can be a source of strength and resilience. The repeated refrain of "I wish" throughout the song suggests that it is a powerful and ongoing desire, something that the singer can't let go of.
The final lines of the song bring back the imagery of shooting stars and beating hearts, suggesting that the singer is still hoping for a magical moment when their wish might come true. Ultimately, "I Wish" is a song about the power of hope and the human yearning for connection and understanding.
