Wish You Were Here
God, I wish you were here
It's getting late on the interstate
Watching mountains fade in the mirror
It's starting to hit me now
And it's startling
My car gave me trouble starting up today
Might have been a sign I was supposed to stay
But baby, either way
I wish you were here
With the windows down
Singing 80s songs
Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far, dear (I wish you were here)
I been ready to go
Then the moment came
And it felt so strange
What if I can't do this alone?
And it's starting to hit me now
Your face is my wallpaper
Say you'll call me later
Truth hurts with no chaser
I'm swallowing the pain (I wish you were here)
With the windows down
Singing 80s songs
Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far dear (I wish you were here)
Oooh, oooh
I don't know what happens next
But I'm hopin' for the best
With the windows down
Singing 80s songs
Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far dear (I wish you were here)
It's getting late on the interstate
Watching mountains fade in the mirror
It's starting to hit me now
And it's startling
My car gave me trouble starting up today
Might have been a sign I was supposed to stay
But baby, either way
I wish you were here
With the windows down
Singing 80s songs
Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far, dear (I wish you were here)
I been ready to go
Then the moment came
And it felt so strange
What if I can't do this alone?
And it's starting to hit me now
Your face is my wallpaper
Say you'll call me later
Truth hurts with no chaser
I'm swallowing the pain (I wish you were here)
With the windows down
Singing 80s songs
Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun

And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words

Being so far dear (I wish you were here)
Oooh, oooh

Till your lungs burn out
Sitting shotgun

And I'd let you steer (I wish you were here)
'Cause the distance hurts
But you're in my head
With the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far dear (I wish you were here)
