The Strike - I Wish That You Would (Audio)

Lyrics:

I see you’ve been out and it’s hard to ignore
Not that it matters it’s who’s keeping score
I’m doing fine I just finished the final episode
Watching without you I’m making the end
With no one to wake up and carry to bed
Not one for change but they tell me it’s better down the road

Is it a mistake
If I ask “are you awake?”
But I hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would
I wish that you would

Memories flashing in front of my eyes
I save the good and leave the bad ones behind
Watch from a distance but I’m always searching for a sign
You’re like a habit I’m trying to break but
I throw out the pills that they want me to take
One for the heartache and one for the thoughts I can’t erase

What if I told you
I’ve been living in the past
And I hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would
I wish that you would
I wish that you would
Oh yeah
Now I wonder

If I get the words just right
Will you read between lines
‘Cause I don’t know how to ask
But I can’t
I can’t hold myself back

I know that love can only go so far
We made a promise that night in the car
Forever minding our manners
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would

Yeah I wish that you would
I wish that you would
Oh no
I’ll never call you up
But I wish that you would
No, I hold myself back
‘Cause I’ve been living in the past
Oh no I will never call you up
But I wish that you would
