Obongjayar's lyrics reflect a deep-seated admiration intertwined with envy. The narrative speaks to the feeling of inferiority and yearning for the effortless brilliance exhibited by someone they deeply respect and love. The song conveys a complex emotional landscape where pride and reverence coexist with a longing to possess the same qualities and success. The repetition of "I wish it was me" underscores a wistful desire to share in the grace and accomplishments of the beloved. This interpretation poignantly captures the simultaneous admiration and self-reflection that many experience in the shadow of someone seemingly flawless. #AdmirationAndEnvy #EmotionalComplexity
I Wish It Was Me
Lyrics
(This one is for you)
You look so pretty on that stage
And you don't even have to think about it
And if you do it doesn't show everywhere you go
You're at home, I'm in love and in envy of you
Ooh-ooh, I'll adore you
Ooh, I adore you
And I pray, pray you never lose your star
I'm so proud, proud of all all that you've won
I wish it was me
I wish it was me
You're so much better at everything
I sink lower in my chest, no compares
I adore you
Ooh, I adore you
I came first but you're ahead
Ahead beyond your years
People try, try to learn this thing you've always been
I wish it was me
I wish it was me
When you pray you're answered
You walk through life just like a dancer
If I had my way, every day would be your parade
When you pray you're answered
You walk through life just like a dancer
If I had my way, every day would be your parade
Ooh, I adore you
Ooh, I adore you
And I pray, pray you never lose your star
I'm so proud, proud of all that you've won
(Ooh) I wish it was me
I wish it was me
