If You Were Here

It's 4: 30am and the lights on the streets are still on It's still dark enough to need them But I see the sunlight coming from the horizon And I'm driving on towards the glow All alone Now the sky turned the colors that I haven't seen for a while I had almost forgotten It feels good to know that they still make me notice it's there And I think that you'd notice too If you were here to see this If you were here to see for yourself If you were here to see this I'd have everything that this picture is missing Now when I hit the coastline, I'm barely awake at the wheel That I'd been gripping for hours The site of the waves crashing down keeps me perfectly still And I'm not surprised to find you where you wanted to be With your eyes on the ocean You tell me about the most beautiful sky that you've seen And you say to me If you were here to see this If you were here to see for yourself If you were here to see this I'd have everything that this picture would need Now 4: 30am feels like years ago now that I'm here But you'll watch me go on' we'll go on And you'll be here to see this Oh and you'll be here to see for yourself When you'll be here to see this Then I'll have everything that this picture would need I'd have everything that I'd need Now the sun's going down and I find myself driving alone Heading back towards the glow 'Cause if I chose to stay then this place would feel too much like home And I'm sorry it took me so long to get to you Now the sky's turning colors But I know you're watching it too
