The story behind the song

"Wishes" captures the yearning to turn back time, a plea from a "fool who doesn't know what to do." The song lives in the mind's eye, seeing a beloved face and wishing for them to "just stay with me." This heartfelt ballad was released by Australian pop vocal group Human Nature as a single from their 1996 debut album, Telling Everybody. It speaks to that universal regret and the desperate desire for a second chance.
