I wish I could be better than the new ones
They will try their best to win their place
I wish I could be cooler than the old ones
And learn how to forget your pretty face
They all just start the same old conversation
You wish that they could see you as yourself
The days that break just fade in observation
Hearing all the songs I made for you all by myself
Will they try to teach you things about them
Or will they just inspire you to fall?
Tell them 'bout the things that make you cry
To see if they would really stay a while
It's just that
Some things can never stay the same
I'm going back to yesterday
To see if I can change but I will
Come back pretending it's OK
Wish away my life until I see you in the rain
Oh, here it goes again
Walking down the path I just don't seem to understand
In spite the long way, I travel it the same
Maybe at the end I'll find the reason for the pain
It's getting colder the more you stay away
I tell my mind I don't need all the memories that she plays
But she keeps on and on;
Singing the same song
Might as well accept that
I'll be waiting for so long
Some things can never stay the same
I'm going back to yesterday
To see if I can change but I will
Come back pretending it's OK
Wish away my life until I see you in the rain
Will they try to teach you things about them
Or will they just inspire you to fall?
Tell them 'bout the things that make you cry
To see if they would really stay a while
(Wish I could)
Be better than the new ones I
(Wish I could)
Wish I could be cooler than the old ones I
(Wish I could)
Be better than the new ones
I wish I could do better than you
