Beggin' me to stay, and then you walk away
There's something that you wanted to say
I was in a rush, but you said you were crushed
And I said, "I'd be back, it's okay"
I wish I'da held you tighter the last time that I saw you
I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you
I wish I remembered to say I'd do anything for you
And maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd bore you
Listen, so close, but we were so distant
Wish I'da known in that instant
Ignored the hints or I missed it
I killed it, you'd always be in attendance
No flights but always attendant
Handwritten letter, you penned it
Them nights we wish never ended
Those rules that we wish we bended
Heartbreak that we never mended
Those messages we unsended
Best friends, we somehow unfriended
Ain't care 'bout who we offended
Parties they wish we attended
Got drunk and laughed, it was splendid
I wish I'da held you tighter the last time that I saw you
I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you
I wish I remembered to say I'd do anything for you
And maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd bore you
Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight
Wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight
Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight
Wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight
Bombs away, bombs away
Bombs away, bombs away
(Yeah, yeah) dream about you
(Yeah, yeah) dream about you
(Yeah, yeah) dream about you
I still dream about you
I wish I'da held you tighter the last time that I saw you
I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you
I knew that moment I met you that I'd always adore you
Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd bore you
