Wish You Would

from Hummingbird by Rooke

lyrics

Lining up people on the right side-- Ab Eb Fm Cm
Gathering them all to play--
So hard to get them all on my side--
As long it happens today. Bb Bb Db Eb
I’m always thinking on the wrong side—
Can’t figure anyone else out.
Do you want to be on my side?
Or have I already pushed you out?

Chorus:
In the end only a few things matter now, Db Ab Eb Ab
And I’m sorry if I ever shut you out.
Go ahead. Make it blunt.
I’m the last one—I’m the runt.
Go ahead. Tell the truth,
That you thought I was uncouth.
Go ahead, baby mine.
Did you think that I was lying?
Go ahead. Wish I could.
I only wish you would.

All kinds of people on their own side,
Trying to stare each other down.
Nobody looking on the bright side,
And still they wonder why the frown.
I’ve started thinking on the light side,
By starting everything anew,
And if it crumbles to the wayside,
At least I know I reached out to you.
