Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here

Get Up Kids (The)
(album: On A Wire)

would you stay for one night?
if i didn´t come home?
the end of a big fight
doesn´t matter anymore
the point in my midlife
situation stands
but hours pass like years
wish you were here
wish you were here
did i open an old wound?
is there something i should know?
if it´s all ending so soon
how could i possibly let go?
comes to a head, this is high noon
the finale we have planned
but hours pass like years
i wish you were here
say the words so slow
say it without fear
you won´t turn to go
you won´t leave me here
the past is all we know
the memories are clear
i wish you were here
if i told you, were you listening?
did you know this from the start?
do the dates match exactly?
your plan when we would part?
if i won´t wait for another year
i guess you´ll break my heart
it´s true
you already knew
so take this as a souvenir
remember me, i´m waiting here
disappointed, hanging on
stayed behind while you moved on
wish you were here
