I Wish

Underneath the silent skies
 All the stars are out of sight
 On the empty street
 My sorrow and me
 Those trees have grown much taller
 While I was finding my way
 That playground seems smaller
 Than back in the day
 I knew the world I'm from
 The future was still to come
 I'm coming home
 Feeling unknown
 I wish you could see me now (you could see me now)
 I think you would be proud
 You said one day I would understand
 But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan
 I wish you could see me now (you could see me now)
 I think you would be proud
 You said one day I would understand
 But I just want you to hold my hand
 ♪
 They say I'm a lot like you
 Wish you were here too
 You didn't see me growing old
 Didn't see me getting strong
 It's time for words from a sermon
 Time to say the last goodbyes
 Time for coffee and bourbon
 I just want our last goodnight
 I whisper to the ground
 Thought you would always be around
 Wish you were not alone
 In the great unknown
 I wish you could see me now (you could see me now)
 I think you would be proud
 You said one day I would understand
 But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan
 I wish you could see me now
 I think you would be proud
 You said one day I would understand
 But I just want you to hold my hand
 Hold my hand
