I Wish That You Would

I see you’ve been out and it’s hard to ignore
Not that it matters, it’s who’s keeping score
I'm doing fine, I just finished the final episode
Watching without you, I'm making the end
With no one to wake up and carry to bed
Not one for change
But they tell me it’s better down the road

Is it a mistake
If I ask: Are you awake?
But I hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would
I wish that you would

Memories flashing in front of my eyes
I save the good and leave the bad ones behind
Watch from a distance, but I'm always searching for a sign
You’re like a habit I'm trying to break
But I throw out the pills that they want me to take
One for the heartache
And one for the thoughts I can’t erase

What if I told you
I’ve been living in the past?
And I hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would

I wish that you would
I wish that you would
Oh, yeah

Now I wonder
If I get the words just right
Will you read between lines
‘Cause I don’t know how to ask
But I can’t
I can’t hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would

Yeah, I wish that you would
I wish that you would
Oh, no
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would

No, I hold myself back
‘Cause I’ve been living in the past
Oh, no, I will never call you up
But I wish that you would
