Songtext von I Wish She Was You

I'm across the pond again A new start, new chapter for this American, hum And I'm back here in Kensington Same rain, new face to make some memories with, hum She's on my lips But you're on my heart I tell her I'm fine I'm falling apart And she's in my bed But you're in my dreams You won't let me rest Even in my sleep You know that London's so much colder now that you went away You took my favorite city and you painted it gray I thought that I could bring the color back with somebody new Oh, but even with the accent, I just wish she was you I just wish she was you Hum, hum I'm on the train again New ticket, same old destination, hum Hyde Park and the West End Try not to think back to that night we went But I just can't forget She's on my lips But you're on my heart I tell her I'm fine I'm falling apart She's in my arms But you're in my speech I still hear your words In the way that I speak You know that London's so much colder now that you went away You took my favorite city and you painted it gray I thought that I could bring the color back with somebody new Oh, but even with the accent, I just wish she was you I just wish she would call me when I can't sleep at night I wish she could melt me with that look in her eyes I wish I was happy, I wish she was enough But when we're together, I just wish it was us You know that London's so much colder now that you went away You took my favorite city and you painted it gray I thought that I could bring the color back with somebody new Oh, but even with the accent, I just wish she was you I just wish she was you Hum, hum, hum I just wish she was you Hum, hum, hum I just wish she was you
