The Avett Brothers - I Wish I Was lyrics

[The Avett Brothers - I Wish I Was lyrics]

I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle
Lighting up your living room
High on a mantle i could bring some romance
Without any scandal
And then when you were done
You'd just put me out

I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen
Putting your groceries away and
Washing your dishes
I could float around your tongue
And ease the tension
And then when you were done
You'd just quiet down

But, if I get too close will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off or away?
If I pull you in would I push you out
Of something here you care about?
I'm at a loss for what to do
I'm drawn to you



I wish I was a sweater
Wrapped around your hips
And when it got too cold, into me you'd slip
And when the sun came back
You would hang me up
And I would watch you while you undress

But, if I get too close will the magic fade?
Would I turn you off or away?
If I pull you in now would I push you out
Of something here you care about?
Well I'm at a loss for what to do
But, I'm drawn to you

I'm not a song i'm not a sweater
I'm not a fire i'm something better
I'm a man in love writing you a letter
Will you take it? Will you keep it?
Will you read it? Believe it
I love you i'm sorry
