Kate Nash - The Nicest Thing
All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could (1) it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I (2) your favourite girl
I wish you (3) I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile (4) your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I (5) was your favourite kind of style
I wish you couldn't (6) me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd (7) my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never (8)
The look on my face when we first met
I wish you (9) a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you (10) me
I wish that you (11) me
I wish that you (12) when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three
I wish that without me your heart would (13)
I wish that without me you'd be (14) the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't (15)
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could (1) it a go
See if we could be something
I wish I (2) your favourite girl
I wish you (3) I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile (4) your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I (5) was your favourite kind of style

Have you read any posts or done any other exercises related to wishes/regrets? (see Labels and Grammar sections)
I've listened to this song twice. I didn't know it. I liked it.
The missing words that I've understood are:
1. give it a go (do you know what that means?)
5. dressed (come on, you should have go that one from the context).
6. figure me out ( do you know what "figure out" means?)
7. hold (my hand)
8. had
9. loved ( remember that we don't use "wish+ present")
10. needed
13. (heart would) break
The others are fine. I think you found it a bit tricky.
In the end, I got all of them.
See you on Tuesday.
It's a slow song but a few of the words are difficult to catch.
Don't worry - understanding lyrics doesn't necessarily reflect your level of English.
I wish I was better at listening In English.
See you in the morning.
I had listened the song and my aswers are:
1.- ¿?
2. was
3. thought
4. ¿?
5. dressed

7. hold
8. forget
9. had
10. loved
11. needed
12.- knew
13. ¿?

I doubt this is your kind of song but it illustrates the use of wish.
1.I wish we could give it a go = I wish we could try to make our relationship work. Give sth a go = try sth, especially sth which you have little or no experience. e.g. Don't say you don't like rollerblading until you've given it a go.
6. I wish you couldn't figure me out. figure sb out = discover what they are really like, figure sth out = solve sth or come to understand sth e.g. I can't figure out these instructions. e.g. They still haven't figure out what caused the accident.
13. I wish that without me your heart would break
