I wish I had that life
I wish I knew what was in that head of hers
What is she thinking?
I sure do wish I knew

I wish I could walk on her thoughts like tiles
Beneath a waterfall of rushing smiles
Blank stares cascade around her like a quiet mob
I wish I knew her thoughts

I wish everybody knew that she arrived on the shore
Floating in a seashell like a pearl
I wish there were some better words for this.

Putting myself in order
Putting myself back into place
I wanted you in my corner
Wanted you to see my face
At least just see
At least just see my face

Maybe you were running to me
Maybe you were not so far away
I stayed at the edge and called you
I stayed just close enough to whisper your name
At least just close enough
At least just close enough to see the back of you
