Rick Rubin - I Wish I Was lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish I was a flame dancing in a candle Lighting up your living room, high on a mantle I could bring some romance without any scandal And then when you were done, you'd just put me out [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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? I'm at a loss for what to do I'm drawn to you [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] But if I get too close Will the magic fade? Would I turn you off or away? If I pull you in Now 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 [Outro] I'm not a song I'm not a sweater I'm not a fire I'm 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
