Lyric

Back when you were by my side, yeah

I couldn’t meet your gaze just tried

You looked like an angel in the light

So bright, I faded out of sight. oh-oh

In class, I touched a Mac one day

We talked of apps, not much to say

To tell the truth, I can’t deny

The reason didn’t matter why

I wish, I wish, I wish you were mine

But dreams fade fast, they don’t wait in line

I was just dust, a kid lost in time

No map, no plan, just stars I’d climb

As long as you stayed, I didn’t need signs

As long as you stayed, I felt so alive

I wish, I wish, I wish you were mine

But dreams like you don’t come back twice

I thought the day I’d lose you would never appear

If I could rewind, I’d do it sincere. yeah yeah

Held to a fantasy, soft and unclear

Hoping illusions would keep you near

But when I looked into your eyes

I saw someone else in my disguise

I knew right then, I couldn’t try

Didn’t wanna admit we’d said goodbye. no no no

Yeah… yeah…

I wish, I wish, I wish you were mine

But dreams fade fast, they don’t wait in line

I was just dust, a kid lost in time

No map, no plan, just stars I’d climb

As long as you stayed, I didn’t need signs

As long as you stayed, I felt so alive

I wish, I wish, I wish you were mine

But dreams like you won’t light the same skies twice

But when I looked into your eyes

The me I saw was someone I didn’t recognize

Right then I knew, I couldn’t go on

I just couldn’t face that you were gone. no no no

I miss, I miss, I miss when you were mine

But dreams fade fast, they don’t wait in line

I was just dust, a kid lost in time

No map, no plan, just stars I’d climb

As long as you stayed, I didn’t need signs

As long as you stayed, I felt so alive

I miss, I miss, I miss when you were mine

But dreams like you won’t light the same skies twice

So unreal, like truth in disguise

Too vivid, too loud—I had no tears, just sighs. yeah yeah yeah

Still the world kept spinning, like a tide that lied

While I stayed silent, locked where I’d hide. ohhh no

I was never built to walk by your side

Never by your side…
