I Wish I Were There Songtext / Lyric

i'm staring on at your picture

how the wind picks up your hair

behind you a palm and the ocean

how i wish i had been there



yeah, too often we're not together

yeah, too often i'm far away



know that i always care

i wish i were

i wish i were there

no longer away, no dead air

i wish i were

i wish i were there



i'm listening to all of your stories

what you've done and what you've seen

your face so small on my iphone

and i'm touching you on screen



yeah, too often we're not together

yeah, too often i'm far away






know that i always care

i wish i were

i wish i were there

no longer away, no dead air

i wish i were

i wish i were there



i never had a doubt i would achieve it

i never allowed myself to fail

but then when i was there

i wished i were where you were

i wish i had been there

i think i got the moral of the story

for every wish granted there's a snag

the genie in the bottle never tells to take care

i wish i had been there

wish i had been there



know that i always care

i wish i were

i wish i were there

no longer away, no dead air

i wish i were

i wish i were there



know that i always care

i wish i were

i wish i were there

no longer away, no dead air

i wish i were

i wish i were there



i wish i had been there

i wish i had been there

i wish i had been there

wish i had been there
