Wish We Were

Open up my eyes I'm awake before the crows start singing Unsatisfied, too much on my mind and I can't stop thinking of My love, what she's doing and how she's feeling I want to call her up, but she's working late and I'm out all night gigging But I know that if I wait until the morning I'll have to go and leave her all alone in satin If only I could have some time that I could borrow Well, I would see her every yesterday and most tomorrows Cuz sometimes, I wish that we were younger 17 in the early summer With nothing but blue skies And sunshine creeping in from underneath the shutters Let's grab ice cream or go visit your mother If only sometimes And I'll apologize For the stupid shit I say when I've been drinking A bunch of stupid lies That I tell myself when my ship's sinking You know that you're the only one Of who I'm ever thinking of A girl who's pretty, sweet and oh so witty She's all of the above But if I stay tonight, I'll be leaving in the morning Let's call in sick today, so we can go exploring All the nooks and every cranny of this bedroom I promise I'd make every second count before I'd break through Well sometimes, I wish that we were younger Turn 19 in the early summer With nothing but blue skies And moonshine spilling outside on a Wednesday night Alone in the dark, such a beautiful sight If only sometimes But if we'd met before Would you still be knocking on my door If you lived down the street Would you just want to be friends with me I'm wishing I could have the time back that I borrowed Yesterdays are overrated, show me the tomorrows Cuz sometimes, I'm glad that we're not younger 17 in the early summer Just trying to kill time Yeah sometimes, I'm so glad that we're not younger You turn 19 but by the end of the summer It's good luck and goodbye Yeah sometimes, aren't you glad that we're not younger 24 in the middle of summer With nothing but blue skies And late nights in her arms underneath the covers She gets on my nerves, but you know that I love her If only sometimes Yeah but only sometimes Don't ever wish that we were younger But don't you ever wish that we were younger Well, don't you ever wish that we were younger Don't ever wish that we were younger But don't you ever wish that we were younger Don't ever wish that we were younger Don't ever wish that we were younger But don't you ever wish that we were younger Don't you ever wish that we were younger Don't ever wish that we were younger Well, don't you ever wish that we were younger Don't ever wish that we were younger
