Lyrics:
I wish coffee made your teeth whiter
I wish porn was good for your brain
I wish artists didn’t need money
I wish billionaires were less vain
I wish cheese were not so expensive
I wish doing taxes was fun
I wish one night stands were romantic
I wish guys could cum more than once
I wish ice cream made you more healthy
I wish weed was good for your heart
I wish exercise were less sweaty
I wish drinks were cheaper in bars
I wish we could all be less racist
And I wish the Bible made sense
I wish phones were not so addictive
And I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I wish I had known what I wanted
I wish you had never got mean
I wish we had started off honest
I wish I had made you feel seen
I wish you were less narcissistic
I wish I had known how to help
Wish you coulda seen what I loved in you
Instead of hating yourself
I wish I had met you when Covid
Wasn’t fucking up our whole lives
I wish both of us were less lonely
From our months of staying inside
I wish I were more understanding
I wish you were way less intense
Maybe then you could still stand me
‘Cause I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
And it isn’t all your fault
But some of it is
And some of it’s mine
And some of it’s just
Bad timing
And shitty circumstances
I wish Amazon were less evil
I wish climate change were a hoax
Wish I didn’t have to be sad as fuck
To write my funniest jokes
I wish you would someday forgive me
I swear I was trying my best
And I know it wasn’t an option
But I wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I just wish we coulda stayed friends
When our never-meant-to-be relationship ended
All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in
All the things that we’ve been
I just wish we coulda stayed
Just wish we coulda stayed

Ah yes, My favourite musical genre: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE.
Mine too
XD THATS PERFECT WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS
Have never had a "funny song" hit the heart strings like this one. Your an amazing song writer!
If you want more songs in this “genre” check out Bo Burnham I’m sure you’ve already listened to his songs but if by some chance you haven’t you’re in for a treat
Bo Burnham
@@RoTTeNxTaiNt p0
He is... im learning this song on piano, with a personal adaption, and with his permission to use for non-profit purposes. His music really is inspiring and relatable
You’re like Ed Sheeran and Bo Burnham had a love child, and I love you
The longer u listen the more it hurts
WHICH IS GREAT love when art makes u feel things
Ended my 10 year old relationship during Covid and this is just too fucking real. I was just enjoying the music and tears just started rolling. You've got a life long fan. Keep doing what you're doing!
My 9y ended SLOWLY over five months and I move out of the condo Thursday. Amiable and civil but devastating for me. I just found this song via TikTok and I am weeping like a….thing that weeps a lot. If you want to compare notes or help a stranger convince themself that I’ll make it through two days in a row without crying, feel free to reply back. This song is so touching. I’m so broken.
@@jimbeam6491 For me, three SOLID years ended quickly. I moved away from her at the two year mark. I lacked communication... sadly. But, she loved me, and I loved her and it just kept rolling on. Recently she got a lot more.. sassy. During the conversation I started noticing that in... she mentioned she got a new boyfriend. This was unreal to me, because at this point I didn't think, that she thought it was over. I told her we need to talk later. And, of course, she blocks me. I go on for five days before her best friend calls me. Apparently she all of the sudden hates me and can't stop talking about this new guy. What hurts the most is that I can't get in contact with her. Every time her friend even tries to mention me, she gets defensive. What hurts the most is the memories. I loved her so much, it felt so warm feeling her head on my shoulder, and... the times when I could talk to her is what I miss the most, honestly, If I could ask for one thing out of this it would be one more conversation with her. Obviously, not as bad as your situation... but I just wanted to mention that you're not the only one going through it. Hopefully, by now you've overcome it, but it always helps to know it's alright, we'll all move past this. 🙏
Get this..what was civil and amiable turned on a dime. We had our last lunch together and kissed goodbye, I took off in my vehicle to start fresh in another state and a friend called to inform me she was sleeping w her boss and had been for months. I called my ex and she admitted it. Im devastated and of course she blocked me too. No apology, no remorse, total stone cold dismissal of the damage I let her inflict. The dreams I have of her are so unhelpful.
@@jimbeam6491 That's tough man. But ya know what, the fact that the wind blows, nature is present, the sun shines, and there's air in our lungs is just amazing. Sorry if this is coming on a bit religiously strong but I believe that's out of God's good will. And trust me, you wouldn't want to be with someone who cheats on you. I think that the Lord has a plan for all of us and honestly that's helped me out. If your not religious, or if your religion doesn't counter this, I want you to try praying tonight. Best wishes!
@@bm7151 You avoided a narcissist friend.
Anybody else find this dude and after 2 songs he’s got you hooked?
When he said “ I wish I didn’t have to be sad as fuck to write my funniest jokes” I felt that!
Writing is unreal. Beat is catchy. This song actually hit pretty deep. Teared up listening to it. Love when people write stuff that I feel but can't really put into words myself. So thank you!
I can't comprehend how this has flown under the radar and I think it's about to not.
THIS!
Dude you're walking a beautiful tightrope between straight up pop and Midwestern emo, I fucking love this I can't believe you're only at 6.500, people are sleeping. You've got a fucking beautiful voice and great lyricism, keep it the fuck up bro. ☺️
At the beginning you're like "wow this is catchy"
Then your like "wow this guy has a long list"
Then BOOM that soul crushing and I wish we could stayed friends" line hits and fucks up your entire world.
this song hits me a lot harder when i think of it not being about a romantic relationship but instead talking to all of the lost friendships for all the reasons of life just being like that. i wish we could have stayed friends when our never meant to be relationship ended is a brilliant line you can feel.
This song and I are going to spend the next few hours together, until I finally uncover just the right emotion.
Dunno why but the slight pause between the first verse and chorus kicking in just hits really hard, like going the from general irreverent stuff to the tell thoughts about the relationship. This is art
“All the life we lived and now we’re strangers again
All the time we put in”
Man why are you doing this to my heart so early in the morning
I started out vibing to this in the office, and ended holding back all my tears. Having just broken up with the love of my life, where we were toxic to each other, and now we’ve both started therapy and working on ourselves… I don’t know if we can get back together. I don’t know if we can be friends. This hit hard.
Thank you.
I’m with you except my partner of nine years refused to go to couples therapy and mine helps me a lot, I cannot help but think we would be so much better off if she just wouldve PUT IN SOME EFFORT
Btw, found you in insta. Good stuff!
Caraca, foi muito aleatório encontrar esse comentário seu Izzy kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Who knew the gamit of emotions could be covered so perfectly and beautifully in under 3 minutes?
39 years old and married with 6 kids, but this just managed to make me feel 20 again! You are absolutely a dangerous balance hilarious and sincere. Thanks for being honest!
Ian McConnell, This is great! Let's be friends and have fun together!
I found him on tiktok . Now i am head over hills for his voice and lyrics . Man love it. Hope this song gets views as it deserve .
I started laughing out loud and now I am crying hard
This must be the most genuine song about how it feels to lose that person. Thank you
“I wish you weren’t so narcissistic”
“You don’t have to be a narcissist to love yourself.”
Cavetown and Ian are right. Don’t be overly obsessed with how beautiful you are, but learn to love yourself without feeling like a narcissist. Thx you two. ❤️
Heard an “actual” song after a long time. This just fills my heart so much ♥️. You’re amazing!
❤️❤️❤️
No matter how successful you are at life, how crappy the world can be, there is always a thought that goes out to the people who were once so close to you in life.
We must do our best to move forward and not dwell on what has been or what could have been and live for today.
Only just discovered this and I've listened to it about twenty times today and teared up every time. The heartfelt chorus after the funny first verse is a suckerpunch right in the feels.
This song hits differently. Happily married now but this brings me back 4 years ago when my never meant to be relationship ended and I could have used this song to cry to
there’s just something so addictive about this song it strikes a good balance between fun and silly and serious and heart wrenching i love it mwah
I wasn't expecting to cry from how hard this song hit 😭 another banger
And the ending was just *chef's kiss* 😂
A while back my 10-year friendship with my then-best friend ended rather harshly and this song just hit me real hard
I feel you. Happened to me a couple of days ago
I just found this song on accident and now I’m listening to it on repeat. I’m sure it’s already been said but this hits home so hard but also gives you the freedom to laugh. I think most of us have that one person that’s not in our lives that we wish we could send this to. Thank you for this ❤
Same, but the whole damn album.
Listened to this song together during a videocall... We were already separated for 2 months and we just stayed there, looking each other in the eyes and crying silently while your words were bringing to light lots of unspoken words between us. You're the best man, actually.
I'm addicted to this song rn fr the most relatable lyrics and the most unique delivery
I fell for his music so quickly and now I get to him next Thursday 🥳 I’m so excited
Both my husband and I got it emotional listening to this song. The feels are so insanely intense and raw and I can't say enough good things
What a ride. 30 mins ago I found your first snippets, and now I find out that you made a series out of them. Lyrics, beat, acting, everything is on point. Bravo!
"and I know it wasn't an option" breaks me in half
Every song you have wrote and sang i love them all. 43 yrs old and never seen nothing like you!
This laugh turned to tears real quick
Just broke up a 5,5 year relationship with a GF who was actually insanely gaslighting, mean and just uninterested in my life. And yet... this song hits, because we still went through 5,5 years togethers. Thank you 🎶
Same dude..... 😢
Love this mate! ♥️
I've never gone from having fun to being crushed so damned fast, wow
I had the biggest smile after noticing that Phoebe Bridgers t-shirt :D
This is so underrated 😭😭
Okay but how is this so heartbreaking 💔 ??? When he shows the slide of the years 😭 😭 😭
This is the natural progression of Midwest emo and I’m here for it
Every one of your songs gives me an existential crisis for some reason
Here before this song goes Viral!!!
This song makes me sob in the best way possible. Don't want her back for any reason, but I still miss the good parts. I miss the friendship. Beautiful way to put it
My heart broke when he said “I wish we still could stayed friends”
Dude I swear you’re the voice of a generation. I can’t stop listening and I can firmly say that whatever you do, you will be successful. The more I listen to, as a writer this entire thing could be easily turned into a coming of age, dark comedy, semi nihilistic love story l. It needs to be more than music, it needs to be an experience on a whole new level. We need you. Funny that you win the fattest donk award when it could literally be a Oscar or at least a Tony. Reach out. Write it. I fancy myself a writer I could help somehow get I’m sure. No credit needed. Just really think we need this to blow up right now.
This song hit so hard
Literally connected with every single word. Amazong song dude.
Damn man.,...was not prepared to cry right now
"I wish you were less narcissistic" Really got me. This song hits deep for me. It reminds me of how I wish my mom would've seen her terrible behavior and tried to fix it. She never did, and I'm working on moving out of her house
I've listened to this song on repeat a couple times and the fact it's so relatable and so deep just tugs on the heart. It's a great song, I just wish I didn't hear it so I didn't start to cry 🙃
This guys is a legend he provided chords for. The song😍😍😍
Even after listening to this song for the thousandth time, I'm still hooked.
Hurts every time... can´t stop listening haha
Boooom.....
You rocked it maaaaaaaaan.......
Just want to listen again and again....
And want all the wishes come true....
How is this not running on every radio channel?! Thankfully TikTok made me discover your music, crazy how catchy and well written all of your songs are!
This is such a heavy song
I had a million things to say sitting here shotgunning your music after my daughter shared it with me. But two works just stick in my head and won't leave. Fucking Genius.
I love him so much
Not me laying bed at 11pm crying while listening to this song… also congrats on the award! ;)
Creating and sharing art is vulnerable enough as it is, so thank you for sharing this. Love the concept for this project!
Man, this hits hard...
I love this song so much!!! it's so insane to go from talking every day and knowing litteraly everything about a person and then the next day be completely strangers.... it's messed up
This describes my situation perfectly, made me cry man, fantastic song man welll done!!
This is actually what occurred with my first true love. Thanks for writing this. Met during uni just before COVID when we were both absolutely at the worst place in life and had a whirlwind toxic beautiful painful wonderful romance.
Thanks for making content I can always count on to kick start a good cry when the waterworks are scratching timidly at the door
thank you for this. it helped me get ready for a breakup i knew was coming, and it's helping me now coping with the fact that, despite us both attempting it, we couldn't stay friends either. "all the life we lived and now we're strangers again" really hits when 10 years go down the drain in about 7 months.
This song hit me hard because it speaks so well I met someone in 2020 and it lasted only about a year and a half this song literally speaks about how we were and how it ended and I wish she knew how I felt 💔
J'aime tellement cette chanson!
I love so much this song ❤
This song is beautiful. But I'm so, so thankful to whatever god may or may not be up there, that I can't relate to this song yet.
Holy crap. I feel this.
Impatiently awaiting albums 4+5 and so on
I listened when it came out. It prompted to me relisten this 3 days ago... so glad i did it
I'm not crying, you're crying. 😭😭😭
This really got me thinking about stuff I thought I left behind me
Good god why do all your songs speak to my life
I hear Angels & Airwaves vibes coming from this (and obviously Blink182). Love it.
fell for the song, amazing, really, I heard it like months ago at a story in Instagram, finally found the whole thing, amazing song
Ok
I just found my new favorite artist 😍
Its criminal how more people havent chaught onto Ian yet!
thank you for this song. i had a rough breakup after 3 years of relationship and it really traumatized me that i couldnt sleep before getting help. it's hard. and it hurts. but im not looking back anymore.
to whoever reading this and going through their own rough time. you're still worthwhile. you did your best and im proud of you. i promise you'll be okay.
One of my top songs of all times
Wait why did this make me cry 😭
Once again, HIGHLY relatable!! :)
Yeah this is how I'm feeling right now
I’ve never been in love but I relate to this for so many ex-friends… broke up with my college friend group last year and this really hits
Let's make this song hit 🤩🤩🥳🥳✨✨💯💯💯💯
This is my favourite song right now
I really don’t know what to say. I both hated and loved just how much I connected to this song. I don’t usually cry because of the whole “boys don’t cry” thing, but this caused me to tear up, if only just a little. Everything in this video, I connected to, even the whole “timeline of us” slide. It’s practically telling my store of the past few years. If your reading this, thank you.
Feels like this song was catered for me. Amazing song. Hits right in the feels
Yeah, this one hit hard. I do wish that too. I miss you. 😕
This songs speaks!
God this song is so immediate, relevant, and relatable- but also pulls on everything I miss about the early 2000s upbeat pop emo. I got hints of Simple Plan meets Bowling For Soup through the looking glass of the dystopian tik tok depression survivor vibes of post pandemic America.
A lyric spanning a relationship, but a styling that takes me back to learning about relationships through every song I could find on limewire, learning about who my friends were by which mix CDs they liked and which they left to scratch-to-death on the dashboard. This song feels like 13 in the body of a 32 year old. It’s simple on the surface, but an acid trip below a rippled surface. It reminds me of when I hoped she’d be my friend someday, and the year I hoped we’d be friends forever, the month I was afraid we’d never be more than friends, and now- wishing we could have stayed friends.
You’ve got a fan here, man. I hope our paths cross.
.....thank you for this song....it helps so much.
Gooo onn
