Wish You Were Here

Incubus · Incubus Hq Live [2012]

I dig my toes into the sand

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket

I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless

And in this moment I am happy

Happy



I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were...here



I lay my head onto the sand

The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it

I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter

And in this moment i am happy

Happy



I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were...here

Wish you were here



The world's a rollercoaster

And I am not strapped in

Maybe I should hold with care

But my hands are busy in the air, saying



I wish you were here

I wish you were...

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were...here

Wish you were here

Wish You Were Here
