I Just Wish You Were Here

I wish you were here
Back here with me
When minds were clear
I just wish you were here

Remember when fun was free?
When your locks had a key?
The key has turned to tears
I just wish you were here

I'm in paradise while you're in hell
Just exactly where I cannot tell
You don't leave me letters, only fear
I just wish you were here

You'd love it here, I know
It's a home instead of a cell
A place to forget hell
I just wish you were here

No more haze, no more pain
This is the place to get sane
Your life crawls on year by year
I just wish you were here

It's hard to tell it's wrong
You're never too far gone
Come back where it's clear
I just wish you were here
