would you stay for one night?
if i didn't come home?
the end of a big fight

doesn't matter anymore
the point in my midlife
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
i 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
i wish you were here

if i told you, were you listening?
did you know this from the start?
do the dates match exactly?

your 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
disappointed, hanging on
stayed behind while you moved on

wish you were here
