Wishing I Was There Lyrics

Cover art for Wishing I Was There lyrics by Natalie Imbruglia

Its about a fling. She and this guy are sleeping together, and they both want to go further with the relationship but she is difficult. She tends to sabotage her relationships. He loves her, and though she wants to love him, she knows she will just mess it up with her usual neurotic paranoia, so she keeps the relationship limited to sex, and sends him away in the morning, all the while wishing he could stay. When she says "don't say you love me, don't say you need me, I really don't think that's fair" It is unfair to her because she wants to return the sentiment but she can't let herself love him back.
