Taylor Swift - I Wish You Would
[Verse]
It's 2 am, in your car
Windows down, you pass my street, the memories start
You say it's in the past
You drive straight ahead
You're thinking that I hate you now
'Cause you still don't know what I never said
[Chorus]
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I wish you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
And I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
[Verse 2]
It's 2am, in my room
Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you
We're a crooked love in a straight line down
Makes you want to run and hide
Then it makes you turn right back around
[Chorus]
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I wish you knew that
I'll never forget you as long as I live
And I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
[Chorus 2:]
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
And I wish you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad any more
And I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
[Bridge]
You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad, mad, love makes you come running
To stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you would
I wish you would, I wish you would
[Verse 3]
2 am, here we are
See your face, hear my voice in the dark
We're a crooked love
In a straight line down
Makes you wanna run and hide
But it made us right turn back around
[Chorus x2]
I wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I wish you knew that
I will never forget you as long as I live
And I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
[Chorus 2]
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for
I wish you knew that
I miss you too much to be mad any more
I wish you were right here, right now
It's all good
I wish you would
[Bridge]
You always knew how to push my buttons
You give me everything and nothing
This mad, mad, love makes you come running
To stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you would
I wish you would, I wish you would
"I Wish You Would" is about the regret and longing felt by the singer for a lost love. The song is set at 2 AM, a time when most people are lost in thought and reflection. The first verse describes a car driving past the singer's street, triggering memories of the past. The second verse is from the singer's perspective, with headlights passing by and her thinking of the lost love. The "crooked love in a straight line down" suggests that their relationship was not straight-forward and caused confusion, but ultimately brought them back to each other. In the chorus, the singer expresses the wish for the lost love to come back and for things to go back to the way they used to be. The regret of hanging up the phone and not saying what she meant is a sign of how important this person was to her. She wishes the lost love knew that she would never forget them. The post-chorus's repetition of "I wish I" emphasizes the desperation and longing felt by the singer. The bridge describes how this love was both fulfilling and disappointing. The singer wishes the lost love would come back and stand where they used to stand, indicating that she wants them back in her life. In the third verse, the singer imagines the lost love's face in the dark and notes that their love was complicated, making them want to run and hide, but bringing them back to each other. The chorus is repeated twice more, with the singer wishing she could remember what they were fighting for and wishing the lost love knew how much she missed them. The outro repeats the sentiment of the bridge, with the singer wishing the lost love would come back and that they could start where they left off. Overall, the song expresses the singer's intense desire to regain a lost love and the pain and regret that comes with not having them back.
