Leave me something To find when you go Draw on map Or use a piece of string Its getting dark And we’re out of smokes The things we used to hide Behind everything CHORUS: But I’m, I’m not wrong To wish you were stronger I’m glad that you’re gone I think that I’m a goner I pray for a good year With that or to disappear I’m glad that you’re gone But I wish you were here I knew you once But then I didn’t Shared some clothes But then we didn’t And you asked me to dance But I said that I shouldn’t But you only asked because you you knew that I wouldn’t CHORUS: But I’m, I’m not wrong To wish you were stronger I’m glad that your gone But maybe I’m a goner I pray for a good year With that or I disappear I’m glad that you’re gone I wish you were here CHORUS: I’m not wrong To wish you were strong And I’m glad that your gone But I think I’m the goner I pray for a good year With that or to disappear I’m glad that your gone But I wish you were here

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

Cotton candy and a rotten mouth You know you're so fucked up You know I couldn't help but have it for you And everybody knows the way I walk And knows the way I talk And knows the way I feel about you It's all a bunch of shit And there's nothing to do around here It's totally fucked up I'm totally fucked up Wish you were here And streets that only turn to boulevards And houses with back yards and it's raining like hell on the cars And everybody knows the way I walk And knows the way I talk Knows the way I feel about you It's all a bunch of shit And there's nothing to do around here It's totally fucked I'm totally fucked Wish you were here And if I could have my way We'd take some drugs And we'd smile We'd smile We'd smile But not tonight, my dear Wish you were here Wish you were here Wish you were here Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
