Would you stay for one night If I didn’t come home? The end of a big fight Doesn’t matter anymore At that point in my midlife The 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 Wish you were here
If I told you, were you listening? Did you know this from the start? Do the dates match exactly? Did you 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 The disappointed, hanger on Who stayed behind while you moved on I wish you were here
