"Wish You Were There" lyrics

The last time I saw you
You were standing on the steps in your tank top vest
With that VK Blue I bought you
And I told you when you're sober, you'll be glad that we're over
And you'll go back to the guy you like
Though I think he's a dick, he'll still treat you right
And you laughed and said I'm probably right, 'cause I'm not even your type
So don't be wasting your life, stop waiting for me

I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time flies by without a care
The anamnesis isn't fair
I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time goes by without a care
'Cause I don't need you here, but I wish you were there

A flashback for a moment
I can hear your voice, as you made that choice
To be a little bit less of an omen
Though I won't turn back, just to hear you laugh
And I know you're not where you thought you'd be
But I won't re-write all the history
Though I'd love to write a happier ending
'Cause there's no pretending that there's not a place in your heart for me

I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time flies by without a care
The anamnesis isn't fair
I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time goes by without a care
'Cause I don't need you here, but I wish you were there

There's nothing left unsaid, there's no regret inside my mind
But I can't comprehend the feeling of leaving them behind
And I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time goes by without a care
'Cause I don't need you here, but I wish you were there
I wish you were there

I still see your face when I drive by
A wicked waste of life
How the time goes by without a care
'Cause I don't need you here, but I wish you were there
