Lyrics

[Chorus]

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

[Verse 1]

And so it goes

Every weekend, this same party

I never go alone and I don't seem brokenhearted

My friends all say they know everything I'm going through

I drive down different roads

But they all lead back to you

[PreChorus]

'Cause they don't know about the night in the hotel

They weren't riding in the car when we both fell

Didn't read the note on the Polaroid picture

They don't know how much I miss you

[Chorus]

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

[Verse 2]

And so it was

We never saw it coming

Not trying to fall in love

But we did like children running

Back then, we didn't know we were built to fall apart

We broke the status quo, then we broke each other's hearts

[PreChorus]

But don't forget about the night out in LA

Danced in the kitchen, chased me down through the hallway

No one knows about the words that we whispered

No one knows how much I miss you

[Chorus]

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

[Bridge]

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

[Verse 3]

I remember the night at the hotel

I was riding in the car when we both fell

I'm the one on the phone as you whisper

"Do you know how much I miss you?"

[PreChorus]

I wish that we could go back in time

And I'd say to you

"I miss you like it was the very first night"

[Chorus]

I wish I could fly

I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time

I'd write this in the sky

I miss you like it was the very first night

[Outro]

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you

Take me away, take me away

Take me away to you, to you
