I Wish I Could

[Verse 1]

In the cold of night

Stay at the heart of it

I feel the love so

I was holding on

Pray, I was scared of me

You, but the time is right

'Cause in my heart I'll do the same for you

[Pre-Chorus]

If the night is for the day

You won't see the last of me

Stay warm 'cause the rain

Will come through

[Chorus]

I wish I could be better

I wish I could do better

I hope these things won't matter

I'll be longing for peace anew

[Verse 2]

When the highs are low

You better go

You barely hold the reins

When the light goes down

I'll let it shine

You see it's all a game

On the highest plane

Of a fool who's lost the tracks again

'Cause in my heart I'll do the same for you

[Pre-Chorus]

If the night is for the day

You won't see the last of me

Stay warm 'cause the rain

Will come through

[Chorus]

I wish I could be better

I wish I could do better

I hope these things won't matter

I'll be longing for peace anew

[Bridge]

High up in the clouds

Moving like a spinwheel

Closer to the sky

I will feel the sorrow

But the night is full of day

I'mma hold on to life

I won't wait on this slope in the way

Wait in this hopeless life

Wait in this lonely life

I won't be the best of me

[Chorus]

I wish I could be better

I wish I could do better

I hope this stays for better

I'll be longing for peace anew

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause the night is for the day

I can see the rest of me

Hopin' the light is the only way I'll fly
