wish u were here

Some things are fun
But all the bad things would be
Fun too if you were right here
And if you died I'd never know
I'd just have to wonder where you went
I looked at the gun
But you took it away
Every night I thought I would use it
So few people know
The heart may grow fonder
But sadder when half of it's distant

Showing up late to our fourth-period
Watching TV, drinking coffee in my bed
Going to parties, we turn down the beer
Goddamn it, I just wish you were here

We could go see the shows
And choose the same classes
I'd show you my friends
Polaroid camera flashes
Run to you in the rain
When things get too hard for me
And there in the pain
I remember you're part of me

Showing up late to our family functions
Watching our shows, gossip in my bed
Going to dances, we're each other's date every year
Goddamn it, I just wish you were here

You're my best friend, you are my soulmate
When I tell you I love you, I won't ever hesitate
You're the only person who rips me up when you're not near
Damn it, I just wish you were here

We're no longer strangers
