The Beard & Beanie - Wish I Knew Lyrics

One, two, three, four, five
You know you're alive
Six and seven, eight
This is not a game
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Have a feeling you're in hell
Thirteen, fourteen and fifteen
Will you make it to sixteen

Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss

Seventeen's mistake, eighteen's on the cake
Now it's real life, but you want to die
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
You say that you're done
But at twenty-two
Decide to start anew

Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss

She is twenty-two
And she makes a move
She gets the blade
And spills the pain
Cake says twenty-three
But it's only me
A bouquet in hand
At the grave of friend

Girl, I wish I knew
And I wished I knew
There is nothing new
There is nothing new
Girl, you started this
Wish I could fix this
But it's too late, Miss
But it's too late, Miss
Girl I wish you'd stay
Why you couldn't stay
Is this my mistake
That I couldn't save
Girl I wish I could
Say that I love you
I knew that I should
But you left for good
