Wish

At the Piccadilly Station, I felt my heartbeat racing
I didn't know no better
And on that Camberwell Road, I found a mirror for my soul
And I didn't need no other.

I was accident prone, I fell head over heels with no warning
And in spite of my vertigo, I never felt myself falling.

And I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realise now
When I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around.

That night in Whitechapel Girl, I know what should have happened
But I just left you standing there
Meanwhile I became a man from New York City to Japan
But that don't give me satisfaction, yeah.

We're only victims of timing
And on that cold summer night
I know I'm a fool for not trying.

And I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realise now
When I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around.

I wish that I could rewrite all the things that we both let go
And I wish that I could just turn back the time and tell you.

I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realise now
When I wish.

I wish, I wish
That I told you then what I realise now
When I wish, I wish
That I told you when you were still around.
