Wish We Were - Smoking Popes

There she stands

Just like someone that you see on a movie screen

Like a picture from the page of a magazine

And I have never seen a more beautiful beauty queen

And she stands

Just like something that was made a long time ago

Like a statue by that guy Michelangelo

And she don’t even know how much I really love her so

I wanna tell her but I’m way too scared

And my feeble heart is not prepared

For the damage if this love’s not shared by her

We’re not going out, I only wish we were

I only wish we were

There she stands

With the brilliance of the sun burning in her eyes

When I see her hanging out with those other guys

She doesn’t realize something in my heart just dies

I wanna tell her but I’m way too scared

And my feeble heart is not prepared

For the damage if this love’s not shared by her

We’re not going out, I only wish we were

I only wish we were

I can feel her warm within my arms

Just before the sound of my alarm

Calls me back to no one

I wanna tell her but I’m way too scared

And my feeble heart is not prepared

For the damage if this love’s not shared by her

We’re not going out, I only wish we were

I only wish we were

I only wish we were

I only wish we were

I only wish we were

I only wish we were
