Wish I Was Here

If you need a distraction

If you need a friend to flip a table

In slow motion, I'll pay the ransom

Get you outta your head

Think you would takin' my help (you are)

Help (you are)

I sign your cast

I read the fine print for you

Dial your friend

Smile in pictures

So you can be still

Can I help you to be still?

Keepin', keepin', thinkin' we chose here

That we chose here

Here (you are), here (you are)

If you need a distraction

If you need a friend to flip a table

In slow motion, I'll pay the ransom

Get you outta your head

Think you would takin' my help

I write an anthem where the story ends

And safe passage

And the good guys win

So, if the man comes and he wants something

Think you are takin' my help

Help

Now I take the fall

Read all the headlines for you

Die in your place

Lie if I have to, so you can be still

Can I help you to be still?

Keepin', keepin', thinkin' we chose here

That we chose here

Here (you are), here (you are)

If you need a distraction

If you need a friend to flip a table

In slow motion, I'll pay the ransom

Get you outta your head

Think you would takin' my help

I write an anthem where the story ends

And safe passage

And the good guys win

So, if the man comes and he wants something

Think you would
