Close your eyes, squeeze 'em tight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Keep on repeating your little chant
You might believe it, but I just can't
Wish me away, wish me away

Keep talkin' louder that's what you do
You're only shouting over you
Tryin' to ignore the voice inside
You couldn't be more like a child
To wish me away, wish me away

Want, wish, hope and pray
Wish me away

We didn't have an easy time
But whatever it was, it was yours and mine
It wasn't always perfect or fair
You don't want it, but it's still there

How's it workin' for you so far?
Do you feel better the longer we're apart?
Oh baby, love's not like nicotine
You still see me, don't you, in your dreams?
Wish me away, wish me away

Want, wish, hope and pray
Wish me away, wish me away
Want, wish, hope and pray
Wish me away
