Wish You Were Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Fil Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow] Take it slow Tell me all how you've grown, just for me Could we all reminisce? Better yet, here's a pen Make a list Fill it full with all the things I've missed 'Cause I could barely drive past the school Without stopping to think of you And how we used to act the fool But worst of all I wish I'd called At least a thousand times or more Just to hear what I've been missing [Chorus: Ben Barlow] If a picture is all that I have I can picture the times that we won't get back If I picture it now it don't seem so bad Either way, I still wish you were here Don't say everything's meant to be 'Cause you know it's not what I believe Can't help but think that it should've been me Either way, I still wish you were here [Verse 2: Fil Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow] Thinking back on the days Where we all used to say "I know anywhere's better than here" In the back of the class Where we grew up too fast Living life like there's nothing to fear But the ice on the road Driving home all alone Singing along to a song from three summers ago The one that made you remember it Now I'll always remember it (I'll always remember it) As the song that your life ended with [Chorus: Ben Barlow] If a picture is all that I have I can picture the times that we won't get back If I picture it now it don't seem so bad Either way, I still wish you were here Don't say everything's meant to be 'Cause you know it's not what I believe Can't help but think that it should've been me Either way, I still wish you were here [Bridge: Ben Barlow, Fil Thorpe-Evans] And they say you're in a better place (They say you're in a better place) But a better place is right here with me Yeah, they say you're in a better place (They say you're in a better place) Too bad it's not what I believe [Chorus 2: Ben Barlow] 'Cause a picture is all that I have To remind me that you're never coming back If I picture it now it just makes me sad And right now I just wish you were here Don't say everything's meant to be 'Cause you know it's not what I believe Can't help but think that it should've been me In the end, I just wish you were here [Outro: Fil Thorpe-Evans, Ben Barlow] Yeah they say you're in a better place They say you're in a better place Either way, I still wish you were here They say you're in a better place They say you're in a better place In the end, I just wish you were here
