Lyric

Wishing

i-Jay

I trace the days we spent

Like ink on faded plans

Tokyo in your laugh

Still warm inside my hands

The train lights on the glass

The rain in silver seams

I keep those little scenes

Like folded paper dreams

And sometimes out of nowhere

I wonder where you are

If you’re safe in your morning

Or looking at the stars

Wishing you happiness

Wishing you light

If we both stay happy

That feels alright

Wishing you happiness

Through the quiet night

I miss you, I miss you

But I’m keeping it bright

We walked those crowded streets

With colors everywhere

Your name was on my tongue

Like salt and summer air

I’d go back in a second

To stand there next to you

The same old open sky

The same red-bus route

And if your days are gentle

Then mine can be too

I don’t need anything more

Than you doing well, too

Wishing you happiness

Wishing you light

If we both stay happy

That feels alright

Wishing you happiness

Through the quiet night

I miss you, I miss you

But I’m keeping it bright

Maybe that’s love now

A soft and steady flame

Not holding, not hurting

Just speaking your name

If fate brings us back

To that faraway view

I’ll smile like before

And say thank you

Wishing you happiness

Wishing you light

If we both stay happy

That feels alright

Wishing you happiness

Through the quiet night

I miss you, I miss you

But I’m keeping it bright

    Wishing

    i-Jay

Not about meeting again. About wishing well.
On "Wishing," i-Jay turns the past into something you can carry without carrying pain. The verses recall Tokyo in vivid, intimate detail-shared streets, familiar skies, small scenes kept like folded paper dreams. But the emotional arc doesn't lean toward "come back." It leans toward gratitude.

This is a song for the space after-when you've grown apart, but the memories still matter. When nostalgia doesn't mean desperation. When love becomes something softer: hoping the other person is safe, happy, and at peace.

The hook says it plainly:

Wishing you happiness
Wishing you light
If we both stay happy
That feels alright

The bridge deepens that idea-love as a steady flame, not a chain. Not holding. Not hurting. Just speaking someone's name with care, even from far away.

Musically, "Wishing" sits in a warm pop-ballad lane-around 102 BPM, grounded in F major, with a vocal-forward mix and a dynamic journey that dips into stillness before the final chorus opens back into light. The artwork mirrors the song: handwritten lines, old photographs, letters tied with twine, golden-hour light across a wooden desk.

"Wishing" is for late nights when you don't want sadness-you want remembrance. When you're not asking to meet again, but quietly hoping you both find your way forward, bright and unbroken.
