"Wish I Was Here" lyrics

If you need distraction
If you need a friend
To flip a table in slow motion
I'll pay the ransom to get you outta your head
If you think it would
If you think it might help (help)

I'll sign your cast
I'll read the fine print for ya
Dial your friends
Smile in pictures
So you can be still
Can I help you to be still?
You've been, you've been thinking
Wish I was here... Man, wish I was here (here, here)

If you need distraction
If you need a friend
To flip a table in slow motion
I'll pay the ransom to get you outta your head
If you think it would
If you think it might help

I'll write an anthem
Where the story ends
In safe passage
And the good guys win
So if the man comes
And he wants somethin'
I think it would
I think it might help (help)

I'll take the floor
Read all the headlines for ya
Die in your place
Lie if I have to
So you can be still
Can I help you to be still?
You've been, you've been thinking
Wish I was here... Man, wish I was here (here, here)

If you need distraction
If you need a friend
To flip a table in slow motion
I'll pay the ransom to get you outta your head
If you think it would
If you think it might help

I'll write an anthem
Where the story ends
In safe passage
And the good guys win
So if the man comes
And he wants somethin'
I think it would
