wishing you were here

lyrics

So it’s December
And the same songs play
All the streets light up
Like nothing has changed
But as the pavements turn a powder blue
I can’t help wishing you could see them too

Empty seats at family tables
Now the lights just look like tangled cables
I know it’s meant to be a wonderful time
But without you I guess the wonder died

So I hope it don’t feel like
We left you behind
Cause you’ll always be somewhere
In the back of my mind
And even when we’re all singing
Happy new year
Just know i’m wishing you were here
Ooh, god knows
I’m wishing you were here

Passing window panes and glancing through
Someone’s spinning in their living room
Disagreements over old routines
Cause to them it’s just another christmas eve

But when you look back
On what you had
Don’t you wish you knew that nothing good lasts?
I know it’s meant to be a wonderful time
But without you I guess the wonder died

So I hope it don’t feel like
We left you behind
Cause you’re always somewhere
In the back of my mind
And even when we’re all singing
Happy new year
Just know i’m wishing you were here
Ooh, god knows
I’m wishing you were here

And even when I raise a glass
And we’re all gathered holding hands
Or moving all the furniture so we have room to dance
Laughing on the car ride home
So hard that we can’t breathe
I hope you understand it doesn’t mean

That I don’t still call you
When things get rough
Cause sometimes I still catch myself
Believing you’ll pick up
And you know
You’re always somewhere
In the back of my mind
And I’d give everything I have
To see you one more time
And even when we’re all singing
Happy new year
Just know i’m wishing you were here
Ooh, god knows
I’m wishing you were here
