I Wish I Could Wish You Back Lyrics - Joanne Shaw Taylor

Hope you get this letter, wherever you are, 

Should have told you everything in it, 

Right from the start. 

A true confession, i have to make, 

I know it's a little late. 

Could'nt bring you home to mamma, 

She'd have thrown you out the door and 

Daddy would have got his shotgun, 

'cos that's what shotguns are for. 

Did what they told me, but now, 

Feel so sad, 

'cos baby i miss you bad. 

That ship has sailed, 

Out to sea and out of sight, 

Why do you want, what you can't have, 

An' i miss you bad, 

An' i wish i could wish you back. 

I understood you, 

You understood me, 

Maybe we were just a little too much like 

Sid and Nancy. 

Two hearts tangled, twisted and torn 

Heading for the perfect storm 

That ship has sailed, 

Out to sea and out of sight, 

Why do you want, what you can't have, 

An' i miss you bad, 

An' i wish i could wish you back. 

That letter's out there now an' 

maybe you'll read it, 

Even better than that, 

I hope you believe it. 

we could have made it, 

swimming against the tide, 

We'll never know, 'cos we never tried. 

That ship has sailed, 

Out to sea and out of sight, 

Why do you want, what you can't have, 

An' i miss you bad, 

An' i wish i could wish you back. 

I wish i could wish you back 

I wish i could wish you back
