Wish You Were Here
Lyrics
I've been knock, knock, knocking
At the thought of your door
But you're not, not, not here anymore
I ring, ring, ring your every phone in my head
But I can't get through, the connection is dead
I want, wanna tell you about the news today
But you wouldn't believe me, you'd laugh it away
There's a ghost standing at the foot of my bed
And it's you, it's you, it's you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
And it's true, today would be your birthday
It would've been your twenty-seventh year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here, here
I go back, back, back in every memory, you're there
But the clock ticks over every minute we shared
On my knees begging for it not to be true
But it was you, was you, it was you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
And it's true, today would be your birthday
It would've been your twenty-seventh year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here
Instead of just in my dreams and in my imagination
Confusing me completely from another dimension
Can you see the beauty from a new beginning somewhere?
'Cause I feel like I won't repair with time
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
It was you, it was you, it was you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
It's true, today would be your birthday
Would've been your twenty-seventh year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here, here
I wish you were here
(I wish you were here)
