I Wish Lyrics – Imagine Dragons
“I Wish” is the 16th track on ‘Mercury Act 2’, and the 30th track on ‘Mercury Acts 1 & 2’. In the Mercury Track by Track breakdown, Dan Reynolds confirmed that this song, like “Wrecked” before it, was written as a lament about the death of Dan’s sister-in-law, Alisha Reynolds. Dan confirmed that he wrote this song very soon after her death, playing the chorus on the piano at his mother’s house possibly after her funeral.| Song Name : | I Wish |

I never called you and now it’s too lateTo say all the words that I’ve wanted to sayThe doctor said, “Oh, there’s a fight up ahead”I should’ve been there by your hospital bed
So it rains every day, oh, it rains every dayNo, I haven’t got the words to say
How I wish I was a better friendBefore it was too lateI wish that I would’ve been there in the endI wish I was a better friend
I wasn’t there when you said your goodbye and IReplay in my mind ’bout a thousand timesI wasn’t there for those rivers you criedI was always too busy, no, I didn’t make the time
So it rains every day, oh, it rains every dayI haven’t got the words to say
How I wish I was a better friendBefore it was too lateI wish that I would’ve been there in the endI wish I was a better friend
And every day, I wish you were hereOh, every day I wishOh, every minute of every yearI swear I feel you nearNear me
How I wish I was (how I wish) a better friend (better friend)Before it was too lateI wish that I would’ve been there in the endI wish I was a better friend
