I Wish

Mm-mm, mm-mm Mm-mm Oh, I wish I'd had help back then Oh, I wish I'd had better friends I was lost out there in the cold Oh, the cost felt immeasurable Yeah, I tried to go it alone Yeah, I lied to everyone back home Oh, the days they were turning black Could not believe the light would come back Until it did, bit by bit I remembered how to do it I got through, and I'll be fine Still, I wish someone had been there at the time Oh, I grew (Oh, she grew) Into a new shape (Into a new shape) Something new (Something new) A foreign landscape With no trees, not a drop of rain Would not believe things could grow from pain Until they did, ledge by ledge I saw a baby bird raise its head I got through, yeah, I'll be fine Still, I wish someone had been there at the time Yeah, I wish someone had been there at the time Ahh
