wish u were here

Do you remember when you said that I would always be your friend?
Though we're a thousand miles and half the world apart
Well, I've grown lots since I was ten
I've found new love, I've made new friends
Even though I thought moving on would be too hard

'Cause no one understands me the same way you do
And I haven't found anyone like you in a couple of years
And I wish you all the best in whatever you do
But I've been thinking about you lately
And I wish you were here

Well, now you're back inside the states
And you're only a few hours away
I could just drive up there and resume where we left off
But now we're both double our age
Since we last talked when we were eight
I think that ship has sailed, and we have both moved on

But you'll never know how proud I was to be called your friend
And I hope you haven't forgotten about me after all these years
And I know you'll be the best at whatever you're in
But I've been thinking about you lately
And I wish you were here
(Hmm)

Do you miss me? Think about me?
Do you remember me or care for me or
Wish you didn't leave?
'Cause I feel quite the same
Every single day, I wish you stayed
And everything would've stayed the same

Please don't forget me, please don't forget me
Please just forgive me, 'cause I know it's silly
Just don't forget me, please don't forget me
Please don't forget me, please don't forget me

'Cause no one understood me the same way you did
And I hope you haven't forgotten about me after all these years
And I know you'll be the best at whatever you're in
And I wish you lots of happiness
I hope you overcome your fears
I hope you have a happy life
But I wish you'd have it here
