Close your eyes squeeze them tight 

I wish I may, I wish I might 

Keep on repeating your little chant 

You might believe it but I just can't 



Wish me away, wish me away 



Keep talking louder that's what you do 

You're just shouting over you 

Trying to ignore the voice inside 

You couldn't be more like a child 



To wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away 



We didn't have an easy time 

but whatever it was it was your's and mine 

it wasn't always perfect or fair 

You don't want it but it's still there 



How's it workin' for you so far? 

Do you feel better the longer we're apart? 

Oh baby love's not like nicotine 

You still see me, don't you, in your dreams 



Wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away 



Wish me away, wish me away 

Won't wish, hope, and pray 

Wish me away
