I Wish I Were Aladdin
Will Osborne And His Orchestra Lyrics

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The exhausting, unsettled evenings and constant arguments

The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
The thrill and adrenaline rush of success

I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
Feeling a sense of longing for both the affection and the passion of love

I wish I were in love again
Expressing a desire to experience being in love once more

The broken dates, the endless waits
The frustrating and disappointing cancellation of plans and constant waiting

The lovely loving and the hateful hates
Recalling both the wonderful moments and terrible fights experienced while in love

The conversation with the flying plates
Referencing the heated arguments that can escalate to the point of objects being thrown

No more pain, no more strain
Relishing in the absence of stress and hardship

Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch-drunk
Expressing a longing for the emotional highs and lows of being in love, despite recognizing the mental stability gained from being single

The pulled out fur of cat and cur
Describing the destruction left in the wake of a tumultuous relationship

The fine mis-mating of a him and her
Reflecting on the mismatched nature of certain couples

I've learned my lesson but I wish I were in love again
While recognizing the negative aspects of past relationships, still wishing to experience the positives once more

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
Detailing the secretive yearning coupled with physical harm that can result from love

The words, "I'll love you 'til the day I die"
Reflecting on the intensity of love and the promises made in its name

The self-deception that believes the lie
Speaking to the delusional thinking one can fall into while in a relationship

When love congeals it soon reveals
When the excitement of new love fades, true colors are shown

The faint aroma of performing seals
Referencing the artificiality and showiness that can come with being in a relationship

The double-crossing of a pair of heels
Describing the betrayal that can come from a partner's infidelity

Believe me, sir, I much prefer
Asserting a preference for the dynamic of traditional gender roles in relationships

The classic battle of a him and her
Describing the natural conflict that can arise from differences between genders

I don't like quiet and I wish I were in love again
Preferring the excitement of love and its accompanying drama to a more stable, mundane existence
