[Verse 1]
I wish that I was older
Old enough to be yours
And I wish that I was wiser
Wise enough to be strong-minded
To keep up with the words you say
That make me feel so young

[Chorus]
But I don't know where this is going
I've just been hoping
And I can see by your smile
That you're glowing inside out
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is
When I'm just starting to realize
That I love you

[Verse 2]
And I wish that we were strangers
Strange enough to go unnoticed from this crowd
And I wish that we were closer
Close enough for me to hold you
When your lonely nights become too long to bear

[Chorus]
But I don't know where this is going
I've just been hoping
And I can see by your smile
That you're glowing inside out
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is
When I'm just starting to realize
That I love you
[Bridge]
You hold your head up high
Though it's hard to
I can't keep back
I know I just want you

[Chorus]
But I don't know where this is going
I've just been hoping
And I can see by your smile
That you're glowing inside out
Let's not pretend like it's not what it is
When I'm just starting to realize
That I love you
I love you
