"The Wish" lyrics

"The Wish"

So one night as we got down to bed
Aimless conversation echoed up the stairs
Thoughts of where the future might unfold
The whole world in chaos everywhere but here

We could lie in bed all day
You don't have to stay but it would comfort me
What keeps pulling you away?
We got time to waste, it don't bother me

If I had one wish
We could take right off
Should we share one kiss
Before we both drift off

And if we could share another hour
Underneath the blankets that warm us by the fire
All inside a cottage in a veil
On the verge of falling into disrepair

We could lie in bed all day
You don't have to stay but it would comfort me
What keeps pulling you away?
We got time to waste, it don't bother me

Didn't get my wish
So I slipped right off
Should we share one kiss
Before we both drift off

I saw a face hidden in the dark
And in this future, it was you
I was a witness
But I didn't know what I saw
We could have held on

We could lie in bed all day
You don't have to stay but it would comfort me
What keeps pulling you away?
We got time to waste, it don't bother me

Let's just stay in bed all day
You don't have to be alone
Rain storm's coming either way
Take your coat off, please don't go
