Wish That You Were Here Songtext
von Florence + the Machine

I tried to leave it all behind me
But I woke up and there they were beside me
And I don′t believe it, but I guess it's true
Some feelings, they can travel too
Oh, there it is again, sitting on my chest
Makes it hard to catch my breath
I scramble for the light of change
You′re always on my mind
You're always on my mind

And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here


And if I stay, oh, I don′t know
There′ll be so much that I'll have to let go
You′re disappearing all the time
But I still see you in the light
For you, the shadows fight
And it's beautiful, but there′s that tug inside
I must stop time traveling
You're always on my mind
You′re always on my mind
You're always on my mind

And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here

We all need something watching over us
Be it the falcons, the clouds or the cross
And then the sea swept in and left us all speechless
Speechless


And I never minded being on my own
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
To be where you are
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
And now I′m reaching out with every note I sing
And I hope it gets to you on some pacific wind
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here

Wish that you were here

Wish that you were here

Wish that you were here
I wish that you-
