“Wish I Knew You” is a 2015 song by Louisianna-based R&B/rock band The Revivalists, which found a spike of fame during the Spring of 2017. On this track, the group uses a strong melody over a rich arrangement with just the right mix of guitars, keys, horns and rhythm to combine for a catchy and rewarding musical experience.
Lyrically, “Wish I Knew You” takes a nostalgic look at romance from a mature and appreciative point of view.
Song Lyrics
You’re everything beautiful
She’s hot, hot like the sun, the loneliest one
Still everything beautiful
Well I’ll be god damned you’re standing at my door
We stayed up in the city until the stars lost the war
So Friday night, holy ghost
Take me to your level show me the one I need the most, I need the most
I wish I knew you when I was young
We could’ve got so high
Now we’re here it’s been so long
Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh, I hope you don’t mind
We can share my mood
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you
Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young
Truth, it’s all that you need, you bury that seed
It’s everything beautiful
That sound comes from the underground, it’s all inside you now
It’s everything beautiful
But what are you running from? They got you on the run?
Take me to your level show me the one I need the most, I need the most
I wish I knew you when I was young
We could’ve got so high
Now we’re here it’s been so long
Two strangers in the bright lights
Oh, I hope you don’t mind
We can share my mood
Two strangers in the bright lights
I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you
Oh, I wish I knew you when I was young
