I Wish I Would've Known Lyrics

Walkin' a familiar path

It feels hollow without you

There's no life in the grass, no

The trees don't grow like they used to

The sun set on yesterday

And your shadow slipped away

I hope that you're okay

I wish I would've known

That was the last time you'd show me the world that you knew so well

I would've taken a moment to memorize the feel of the air

I would've held you closer

I would've walked a little slower

I wish I would've known

Walkin' through a distant past

The memory of you echoes through this empty house

'Cause our lives are in these hallways

All our memories on the walls

Now we near the end of always

As the ceiling starts to fall

The door closed on yesterday

Now the echoes fade away

I hope that you're okay

I wish I would've known

That was the last time you'd show me the world that you knew so well

I would've taken a moment to memorize the feel of the air

I would've held you closer

I would've walked a little slower

I wish I would've known

That time is never guaranteed

And even kings and queens can bleed

And that someday you'd have to leave

'Cause you were everything to me

I wish I would've known

That was the last time you'd show me the world that you knew so well

I would've taken a moment to memorize the feel of the air

I would've held you closer

I would've walked a little slower

I wish I would've known

That was the last time you'd show me the world that you knew so well

I would've taken a moment to memorize the feel of the air

I would've held you closer

I would've walked a little slower

I wish I would've known
