A Wish For Something More

Amy Macdonald

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? 

Let’s take a walk outside 
See the world through teach others 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, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way 
I wish for long lingering glances 
Fairy tale 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 lets 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 worth while 
I’m thinking these things while I’m trying to say 
This lie gets in my way, every single day 

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way 
I wish for long lingering glances 
Fairy tale 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 lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more 

Now this sun is fading, now the rain is coming down 
And I’m looking at your face and you’re looking at the ground 
I see diamonds in your dreams, I see pearls around your neck, 
I see everything that’s beautiful, oh everything that’s beautiful 

I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way 
I wish for long lingering glances 
Fairy tale 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 lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more
