Intro
Verse 1
I wish I could believe in something bigger
More than these trees, these winds, these oceans
I wish I could believe what they tell me
I saw, I saw, I saw my brother pack his bags and leave
We made our goodbyes and now he is settled down in the city
Where he doesnt have to be himself
Chorus 1
He used to play an untuned guitar
While he sang about me and he sung about the stars
I used to dream about another time
And now its all clear that's the only time I wish would come back
Verse 2
I wish I could hold on a little longer
Still my worried stomach and calm my hunger
I wish I could believe what they taught me
I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw an old photograph
And the picture that appeared, well it took me back
To the time when she was around
Chorus 2
She used to play that old mandolin
The moon and the sea invited her in
I wish that I had told her by then
But she knew deep down that she only wished that time would come back
Bridge
A new day awaits me
I could be gone today
A new day awaits me
We could be here to stay
Chorus 3
We used to wait for our heavy storms
To take us away while something new would form
I wish that I could have known by then
We all know now that we're never getting back to those times
