Oh the sun is shining far too bright For it to still be night Oh the air feels so cold So cold and old How can it be light Oh let's take a walk outside See the world through each other's eyes I wish I was your only one I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess And your shoes are untied, but that's what I love best
And I, I wish I was the one You lonely, lonely son And you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more
Now the grass is so green But I can't see anything, past your eyes I'm fixated on your smile Your cherry lips make life worthwhile I'm thinking these things What I'm trying to say Is life gets in my way Every single day
And I, I wish I was the one You lonely, lonely son And you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more
Now the sun is fading and the rain is coming down And I'm looking at your face but your looking at the ground I see diamonds in your dreams I see pearls around your neck I see everything that's beautiful, everything that's beautiful
I wish I was the one You lonely, lonely son And you looked at me that way I wish for long lingering glances Fairytale romances every single day And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day But I wish for something, wish for something more Oh, I love you like a friend but let's not pretend How I wish for something, wish for something more
