Took a trip to a place I'd never been
Saw your name in every mountain
Fell on concrete and felt you in my skin
I didn't know that that could happen
Though I've got patience like a child
I'll keep waiting for the song
I think I'll know the sign
And I don't deserve forgiveness
I want to make that clear
But my god, I wish, I wish you were here
In my fortress, escaping in my youth
I remember what you told me
You said I'm lightning, a scary flash of truth
That's the nicest thing I've ever heard
Though I'm real scared to be a ghost
I'll let you go if it means you'll feel a little lighter
But I hope that you remember any time you need to know
That I love you, and I'll always be wishing you were here
(Ooh) I wish you were here
Thinking back on the last good day we had
Throwing rocks into the ocean
I wish we held on, but we both had to grow
I think I'm a better swimmer now
At least I've got things a little more figured out
So hit me like a tidal wave, I'm ready to show you that I mean it
I'll be right here
