[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
GIt's 2 am, in your car
Windows down, you pass my street, the memories start
You say it's in the past, you drive straight ahead
You're thinking that I hate you now 'cause you still don't know what I never said
[Chorus]
GI wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I Emwish you knew that I'll never forget you as long as I live and I
CWish you were right here, right nDow, it's all good, I wish you woGuld
[Verse 2]
GIt's 2 am, in my room
Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you
We're a crooked love in a straight line down
EmMakes you want to run and hide then it Cmakes you turn right Dback around
[Chorus]
GI wish you would come back
Wish I never hung up the phone like I did
I Emwish you knew that I'll never forget you as long as I live and I
CWish you were right here, right nDow, it's all good, I wish you woGuld
I wish we could go back
And remember what we were fighting for and
I Emwish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore and I
CWish you were right here, right nDow, it's all good, I wish you woGuld
(G)

[Bridge]
GYou always knew how to push my buttons
EmYou give me everything and nothing
CThis mad mad lDove makes you come running
GTo stand back where you stood
I wish you would, I wish you wEmould
I wish you would, I wish you woCuld
DI wish, I wish
[Verse 3]
G2am here, we are
See your face, hear my voice in the dark
We're a crooked love in a straight line down
EmMakes you wanna run and hide but it Cmade us turn right Dback around
[Chorus]

The story behind the song

"I Wish You Would" captures the feeling of two ex-lovers who still long for each other, a poignant back-and-forth of unspoken desires. The song was developed with a vision of "a sort of John Hughes movie visual with pining," evoking a classic cinematic romance. Its synth-pop sound, featured on the album 1989, blends a nostalgic 1980s feel with a fresh energy, marked by a staccato guitar lick and dense synths. Playing this song channels that bittersweet ache of almost, but not quite, reconnecting.
