Wish You Were Mine

Saw you laughing in that worn-out chair Coffee stain on your favorite sweater You said Man This day’s been long I said Yeah but I meant never leave You talk about somebody Like they pulled you from the fire I nod like I’m not burning Sitting inches from your wire Wish you were mine Not just your stories at 2 AM Wish you were mine More than a shoulder More than a friend I keep it quiet Every time But every heartbeat screams Wish you were mine You fall asleep with your phone in hand Screen still lit on somebody’s name I tuck a blanket under your chin Then practice letting go again You say you hope they call you I joke you’re hard to find You laugh and lean your head On the wrong side of the line Maybe in some other life We miss that train We cross that line You reach for me in the back of a cab Saying What took us so long for this? But in this one I just drive you home Watch you run through the gate alone
