I Wish For You

Happy birthday seventeen
seems so far from yesterday
When I held my world tight
said all that I had to say

Blow out the candles
another year split at the seams
Make a wish
What are your deepest dreams?

Hold me close, laugh again
smile for me baby
So I won't have to pretend
He's all I ever wanted
I'm happy she's with you
Cause right at this moment
I wish you knew
About the kisses that you've never felt
Saved behind the lies for you
Of all the times you made me melt
dreaming that rumors were true
That life was perfect as we are for each other
A lot more than friendship is lasting forever
Every year I do
Wish that I could wish for you

Telling jokes I've heard again
crying for sweet somethings
Listening as I ramble on
making sense of nothing

Cause it doesn't matter
we know both know the truth
Silent understanding sings
harmony for me and you

Hold me close, laugh again
smile for me baby
So I won't have to pretend
He's all I ever wanted
I'm happy she's with you
Cause right at this moment
I wish you knew
I remember all your words by heart
I retrace your every step
I'm never there to see it
but my love is neatly kept
Next to the picture of her
ready to catch the pieces
I crumbled up the memories
then ironed out the creases
to see you smile again
when it was cause of me
to hear you say that I'm the best
to know I'm all you need

Hold me close, laugh again
smile for me baby
So I won't have to pretend
He's all I ever wanted
I'm happy she's with you
Cause right at this moment
What's left of my breath is pushed away
Wishing joy to you
but I know in my dreams tonight
I'll wish I'd wished you knew..
