I Wish I Was

The Avett Brothers

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1 I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle Lighting up your living room high on the mantle I could bring some romance without any scandal And then when you were done you’d just put me out I wish I was a tune you sang in your kitchen Putting your groceries away and washing your dishes I could float around your tongue and ease the tension And then when you were done you’d just quiet down But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Would I push you out Of something here you care about? Well I’m at a loss for what to do But I’m drawn to you verse 2 I wish I was a sweater wrapped around your hips And when it got too cold into me you’d slip And when the sun came back you would hang me up And I would watch you while you undress But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Would I push you out Of something here you care about? Well I’m at a loss for what to do But I’m drawn to you Interlude verse 3 I’m not a song I am not a sweater I’m not a fire I am something better I’m a man in love writing you a letter Will you take it Will you keep it Will you read it Believe it I love you I’m sorry.

Cette chanson évoque le désir d'être proche d'un être aimé, en utilisant des métaphores simples et touchantes. L'artiste exprime son envie d'incarner des éléments familiers et réconfortants, comme une flamme, une mélodie ou un vêtement, afin d’apporter douceur et chaleur dans la vie de l’autre. Il hésite, cependant, car il craint que cela ne modifie leur relation ou qu'il ne fasse perdre la magie de leur connexion. Le contexte semble être une lettre d'amour où l’artiste se livre sur ses sentiments profonds, tout en reconnaissant ses propres vulnérabilités. Au-delà des images douces, il s'affirme comme un homme amoureux, prêt à partager ses désirs et ses peurs. Cette sincérité renforce le message central : l’amour authentique et la crainte de ne pas être à la hauteur.
