I wish you could see the person I see
The one I fell for after I turned sixteen
The one who laughs uncontrollably
And covers his face like he's embarrassed to be
'Cause he's the boy I wish loved me
He's the one I wish would touch me
The boy I wish would hold me tight
After telling him he couldn't stay the night
'Cause he's the boy I wish loved me
He's the one I wish would desire me
The boy who traces his thumb across my lip
Before asking for our very first kiss.
I wish I knew the boy in front of me
The one who fell for me at seventeen
The one that covers me when I'm asleep
'Cause that's the boy who truly loves me.
