about

"Wish" is about hypocrites trying to call you out.

lyrics

You're disappointed in me. Oh yeah? Well you turn me on.
And what about the things that you've done?
What pisses me off is that I could tear you apart.
But I don't and I won't 'cause I have too much feeling inside this vessel in my chest.
It beats harder and faster the closer you get.
And I don't think you understand that your words
are the fatal cutting edge when you have me in your bed.

So what if I get high?
I can't wait 'til the day you turn around and see
no one's there for you 'cause you pushed them all away
and I can't wait 'til you're miserable
and I can't wait until the day you finally fall.

Oh, you're not that far away.
And it's times likes these that I question the authenticity of your promises.
I swear to god, I'll never trust another actor for this reason:
You change like seasons.
Well, maybe this all was a role you so eloquently played.
The world is your stage and it's all fun and games
until I find out that you don't feel the same.

So what if I get high?
I can't wait 'til the day you turn around and see
no one's there for you 'cause you pushed them all away
and I can't wait 'til you're miserable
and I can't wait until the day you finally fall.
