Music & Lyrics: Greg Wood and Eddie Hawkins
I sometimes wish that I was yesterday
And you were still tomorrow
All the tangles were still unwound
The lines were easy to follow
And backing up before the chaos starts
We’re just standing there naked
Yeah, i sometimes wish that I was yesterday
But that’s just wishful thinking
As you walk along it’s like a mural on
the walls of the life around you
You can look away, and you sometimes do
But it’s not like it don’t surround you
The faster it goes, it’s more thorns than roses
And the next thing you know you’re a liar
Yeah, but somewhere in there was something pure
The spark that started the fire
I wish that everything that ever fell apart
Could come back together again
Exploding backwards into perfection
But that’s just wishful thinking
Oh, that’s just wishful thinking
It’s not the fire inside us or the lights that blind us
It’s the darkness and the silences
If we can train our eyes, and our hearts and minds
To see it all when it crystallizes
That everything that ever lived and breathed
Was sweet, necessary, and righteous
Inside every seed is a flower that breeds
In the warmth of a day just like this
I wish that everything that ever fell apart
Could come back together again
Exploding backwards into perfection
But that’s just wishful thinking
Oh, that’s just wishful thinking
I wish that everything that ever fell apart
Could come back together again
Exploding backwards into perfection
But that’s just wishful thinking
Oh, that’s just wishful thinking
