Would you stay for one night?

if i didn't come home?

the end of a big fight

doesn't matter anymore

at that point in my midlife

the situation stands

but hours pass like years

wish you were here

wish you were here

did I open an old wound?

is there something I should know?

if it's all ending so soon

how could i possibly let go?

comes to a head, this is high noon

the finale we have planned

but hours pass like years

wish you were here

say the words so slow

say it without fear

you won't turn to go

you won't leave me here

the past is all we know

the memories are clear

wish you were here

if I told you, were you listening?

did you know this from the start?

do the dates match exactly?

did you plan when we would part?

if I won't wait for another year

I guess you'll break my heart

it's true

you already knew

so take this as a souvenir

remember me, I'm waiting here

the disappointed, hanger on

who stayed behind while you moved on

wish you were here
