Probably A Joke Lyrics

I Wish That I Could Love You

I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that I could kiss you but you're playing another game

I wish that I could feel you in my arms tonight

I wish that I could hold you when you're not uptight

I wish that you could see that both of us have always felt the same

I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that I could touch you but you seem so far away

I wish that I could reach you but my arms are short today

If you examine all the things that came and went

You'll find that our love was just an accident

And everything we spent went from red to amber gray

Well I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that I could hurt you but I'm tired of feeling ill

I'm tired of feeling angry and I fear I love you still

You're always feeding me the pieces of the things we shared

And telling me you shot me down because you cared

You had to let me go because you didn't want to climb up hill

I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

Well I wish that I could free you but I don't even have a dime

There's a bounty on your head and you've committed some evil crime

I wish that I could buy you but I'm short on cash

You're no longer on the market but you're bound to crash

And if I lived my life for money I'd only be wasting my time

Oh I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that I could venture into sleepwalks that you take

In your shiny robes of satin beneath the stars out by the lake

But somewhere in your psyche there's a bank vault door

Denying me quick access to your tender core

You look like an angel of God but you act like a snake

Lucifer

I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that we were sitting on a rooftop drinking wine

Instead of wishing I was yours and wishing you were mine

Well it's obvious to almost everyone I meet

That you and I were meant to touch each other's feet

An army of indifference and we're never gonna cross that line

Oh I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

I wish that I had met you when my eyes were cold as steel

For years I had the power to resist anything I would feel

You caught me at a time when I was weak with doubt

And I didn't have the sustenance to keep you out

You were holding all the cards and I was praying that you would deal

Oh I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name

Well I wish that I could love you but I don't even know your name
