WISH YOU WERE HERE

Intro

Yeah…

Mm-mm

I hate that we’re so far away

I just wish you were here…

Verse 1

I hate waking up and you ain’t beside me

Reach across the bed, but there’s nobody

Phone full of pictures, but it don’t feel the same

I can hear your voice, but I need you in my space

We say goodnight through a phone screen

But I need your arms wrapped around me

Sometimes distance make me question everything

Then I remember what you mean to me

I know we got miles between us

But girl, these miles don’t come between us

I still feel you when the night gets cold

Still hear your voice when I’m alone

Pre-Chorus

And I know love ain’t always easy

Sometimes I hate what this distance does

‘Cause when I need you, I can’t reach you

And all I want is your touch

Chorus

I hate that we’re so far away

Wish you were here with me tonight

Wish I could pull you closer

Instead of staring at your name on my phone all night

I hate that we’re so far away

Girl, I need you right here by my side

If I could have one wish tonight

I’d wake up and you’d be right here in my arms tonight

Verse 2

Sometimes I get quiet, don’t think I’m changing

I’m just missing you more than I can explain it

I wanna take a drive, show up at your door

Pull you close and tell you I don’t wanna leave no more

‘Cause loving you from a distance

Got me fighting with my feelings

I don’t wanna just hear “I miss you”

I wanna wake up next to you

I wanna know how your day went

Kiss you before you go to bed

Laugh about the little things

Then fall asleep with you on my chest

Pre-Chorus

And I know love ain’t always easy

Sometimes I hate what this distance does

‘Cause when I need you, I can’t reach you

And all I want is your touch

Chorus

I hate that we’re so far away

Wish you were here with me tonight

Wish I could pull you closer

Instead of staring at your name on my phone all night

I hate that we’re so far away

Girl, I need you right here by my side

If I could have one wish tonight

I’d wake up and you’d be right here in my arms tonight

Bridge

Maybe one day we won’t have to count the days

Won’t have to say “I miss you” through a screen

Won’t have to wonder when I’ll see your face

You’ll just be right here next to me

And until that day comes

I’ma keep holding on

‘Cause distance ain’t enough

To make me give up on us

Final Chorus

I hate that we’re so far away

Wish you were here with me tonight

I’d trade every mile between us

Just to hold you underneath these lights

I hate that we’re so far away

But my heart still knows where you are

No matter how many miles come between us

Girl, you’re never really that far

Outro

Wish you were here…

Right here with me…

I hate this distance, baby…

But I still choose you.

Every time.
