Lyrics

verse 1

I used to fear I’d wake up

and you’d just not be there

like a night with the boys might

turn into someone, somewhere

I used to get scared of how

you would see me

package up my honesty

so it arrived cleanly

remember when I was afraid

you’d find something better

and you told me that wouldn’t happen

not ever

pre-chorus

I don’t know when it turned

or how, or why

but something shifted

and now I don’t even cry

chorus

I kinda wish you would

go stay out late

so I could miss you

while I wait

I wish you would

see what’s out there

maybe then you’d know

what you have here

and I really wish you would

see me in all my honesty

so you could decide

do you even want me

post chorus

I wish

I wish you would

tell me if you want this

or leave for good

I wish

baby, I wish you would

verse 2

I used to hear the gravel

kick up beneath your truck

jump up, so excited

for it to be just us

I’d run to the door

we’d kiss on the steps

afraid of one second longer

without your lips

I tell you about my day

you cut me off halfway through

like you couldn’t keep it in

“you’re beautiful” just fell out of you

and it felt like something sacred

once in a lifetime kind of thing

and I was terrified of all the damage

a love that deep could bring

pre-chorus

I don’t know when it turned

or how, or why

but back then I held on so tight

chorus

and now I kinda wish you would

go stay out late

so I could miss you

while I have to wait

I wish you would

see what’s out there

maybe then you’d remember

what you have here

and I really wish you would

see me in all my honesty

so you could decide

do you still love me

post chorus

I wish

I wish you would

tell me if you want this

or leave for good

I wish

baby, I wish you would

bridge

and maybe I am just

in my own head

maybe times just changed

and nothing shifted

but at some point

I started to get the sense

we stopped coming together

and started fighting against

pre-chorus

I don’t know when it turned

or how, or why

but we can’t keep living

in this in-between life

final chorus

’cause I kinda wish you would

go stay out late

so I could miss you

instead of this weight

I wish you would

see what’s out there

maybe then you’d fight

for what we had here

and I really wish you would

see me in all my honesty

so you could decide

are you still in love with me

post chorus

I wish

I wish you would

tell me if you want this

or leave for good

I wish

baby, I wish you would
