Wish You Were Here Lyrics

I just spent the last ten hour drive

Connecting the dots that led you to my show

From that first time when you said goodnight and

I got in my car and cried

'Cause I knew I was in for a ride

And all summer long I waited and I pined

Acting like I didn't care when you didn't give me the time of day

And you were fucking other girls and it was fine, I swear

But in Kansas I remembered that one night when you got jealous

Made me a drink, took me by surprise

And later in the back of his car

Your face flashed in my mind

I wish you were here

I had to leave you 'cause we're both the kind

Of free that keeps on moving and I like that

What's meant to be is never lost

And we can pick up right where we left off

I'm sending postcards through the internet that you don't see

I cross my fingers that you're thinking of me

I wish you were here

Wish you were here

I just spent the last ten hour drive

Thinking about you through New Mexico deserts

I reached for a hand that wasn't there

Can you see when you touch me casually in conversation

My whole being lights up and if you wonder why I don't touch

You the same it's because it feels like I couldn't stop

And I'd melt completely and the Universe just might combust

I wish you were here

I had to leave you 'cause we're both the kind

Of free that keeps on moving and I like that

What's meant to be is never lost

And we can pick up right where we left off

I'm sending postcards through the internet that you don't see

I cross my fingers that you're thinking of me

I wish you were here

Wish you were here

And in Phoenix I really thought I'd made a mistake

Because why was I heading in the opposite direction

Of something that was just

Starting to take shape

And then as I was pulling in to Los Angeles

I caught a glimpse of the future

In a vision of you and me so real

I couldn't help but smile

Michelle always said that if you can see it

You can have it

I've never seen anything more clearly in my life

And I hope that means you're already mine

I wish you were here

I had to leave you 'cause we're both the kind

Of free that keeps on moving and I like that

What's meant to be is never lost

And we can pick up right where we left off

I'm sending postcards through the internet that you don't see

I cross my fingers that you're thinking of me

I wish you were here

Wish you were here
