Lyrics

WISH YOU WERE MINE

THOSE SUMMER DAYS WE SPENT TOGETHER BACK WHEN
YOU AND I KNOW WE WON?T SEE AGAIN
OUT IN YOUR BACKYARD WITH THE CLOTHES ON THE LINE
YOU SMOKED THE CIGARETTES AND WE SHARED THE WINE

WE SPENT THE DAYS THEN KEEPING COOL AT THE MALL
THEN WE WENT OUTSIDE WHEN THE DARKNESS WOULD FALL
WE WERE SO WIDE-EYED AT THE SKY UP ABOVE
BUT AFTER ALL WE WERE JUST TWO KIDS IN LOVE

WE?D SWIM THAT RIVER, UNDER THE RAINBOW
AND LAUGH UNTIL THE MORNING SUNSHINE
I KNOW THAT WAS YESTERDAY?..
BUT I WISH YOU WERE MINE

EACH MORNING SUNRISE ALWAYS CAME ?ROUND TOO SOON
?CAUSE WE WERE SMITTEN BY THE WHOLE OF THE MOON
WE?D BRING OUR JOURNALS, THERE WERE WORDS THAT WE WROTE
BUT OUR HEADS WERE SPINNIN? FROM THE COMFORT AND COKE

OUR FRIENDS WERE JEALOUS SO, ABOUT YOU AND I
BUT OUR TIME WAS FADIN? AS EACH DAY WENT BY
SOMETIMES WHAT WE BELIEVED WAS LOST IN THE WIND
WE WERE JUST DIZZY FROM THE HAZE WE WERE IN

IN THAT LAKESIDE COTTAGE THERE WERE DUCKS IN A FRAME
AND BLUE EYES CRYIN? IN THE WARM SUMMER RAIN
WE RAN ON COCAINE THAT WOULD FUEL OUR DESIRE
BUT EVERY HOPE WE HAD WENT STRAIGHT UP IN FIRE

BY SEPTEMBER WE WERE SWIMMING IN SIN
THIS WAS A SUMMER THAT WE WON?T SEE AGAIN
WE WON?T REMEMBER ALL THE LOVE THAT WE HAD
WE?LL JUST LOOK BACK ON HOW THINGS GOT SO SAD
