Victoria Wenzke - Wish You Were Here Lyrics

Still half asleep
And a long way from home
I guess you crossed my mind
In my dreams on the road

Picture you here
Humming songs by my side
With that soft, easy grin
And those smiling eyes

But I'm falling asleep
In the back of the car
And I try to forget that
You said when we are

Older you'll take me far from our town
We'll drive, you at the wheel, no one around
Take that highway through the mountains
Like this, I pray you'll appear
Wish you were here

These days at the lake
Rainy log cabin nights
Playing cards in the loft
Feels like something you'd like

We'd sit by the fire
Put on shows we won't watch
And you'd pull me in close
Turn the sound down a notch

My hands trace your cheek
And you say something kind
Fall asleep in your arms
But you don't seem to mind

Hold me while all the rain is falling
Pretend we still belong, I'll play along
Curl up on the couch beside me
Your voice, a ghost in my ear
Wish you were here

I lost a dream
I guess you lost a friend
It's still you in my mind
But not us in the end

Yeah, if you're just a dream
There's a ghost in my head
Guess it's time to drive home
It's not you in the end

Car tires turn under pink and white skies
It feels just like our song, it's been so long
Pretend I'm not thinking of you
Oh well, you're nowhere near
But I wish you were here

I hope you're not thinking of me
Please, no don't shed a tear
I just wish you were here
