I Wish I Could Be There by Jewels I wish I could stop you hurting Feeling all the pain I'd like to think I could But I know I'm being vain To think that I could make things better Just by being there Although I need to show you Just how much I care I have felt pain too And wanted to sleep forever But then I'd never have met you And we would never have been together So you see the future as we know Can never be predicted We think we know what lies ahead Then with life we are inflicted In our case it just happend It wasn't planned at all But intensity of desire Put us up against that wall Thoughts of you keep flooding through As I see that wanton stare And I know I must be sensible But I wish I could be there
