Wish

At the piccadilly station
I felt my heartbeat racing
I didn't know no better
And on that camberwell road
I found a mirror for my soul
And I didn't need no other

I was accident prone
I fell head over heels
With no warning
And in spite of my vertigo
I never felt myself falling

And I wish, I wish
That I told you then
What I realise now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when
You were still around

That night in whitechapel, girl
I know what should have happened
But I just left you standing there
Meanwhile I became a man
From new york city to japan
But that don't give me satisfaction, yeah

We're only victims of timing
And on that cold summer night
I know I'm a fool for not trying

And I wish, I wish
That I told you then
What I realise now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when
You were still around

I wish that I could rewrite
All the things that we both let go
And I wish that I could just
Turn back the time and tell you

I wish, I wish
That I told you then
What I realise now
And I wish

I wish, I wish
That I told you then
What I realise now
And I wish, I wish
That I told you when
You were still around
