Hanging Out

I wish you hadnt gone out to play
So...   Much...
I wish you hadn't been so popular
Loved football, karate
Your bike, hanging out

And, I wish that I hadn't
Liked it so, too...
A few hours peace at the end of
a day
Out to play with you both
Out to play, out out, shoo

I wish you hadn't gone to school
Or guitar
Played golf
Got a motorbike
Later a car

I wish you hadn't...
Formed a band, found a girl,
went to college and grown
Worked jobs then the army...a
man and left home
I wish you hadn't
​​​
I wish that I'd spent
Every minute with you
Kept you home close but, would
that have fair?
Probably not but tonight...
I don't care
I wish you hadn't died
