Song Lyrics

Gone away are the golden days
Just a page in my diary
So here I am a Utopian citizen
Still convinced
There's no such thing as idealism

Memories they're following me like a shadow now
And I'm dreamin'
And I've already suffered the fever of disbelief

[Chorus: 1]
I've seen your act
And I know all the facts
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

[Chorus: 2]
It ain't hard to see
Who you are underneath
I'm still in love with who I wish you were

And I wish you were here

I was true as the sky is blue
I couldn't soon say the same for you
So now I find denial in my eyes
I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind

Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart
For what it is
'Cause I don't want to keep on believin' in illusions

[Chorus: 1]

[Chorus: 2]

I wish you were here

Sometimes I can't explain
And I'm so sorry that I can't
I'll try to concentrate
On your true identity

[Chorus: 1]

[Chorus: 2]

[Chorus: 1]

[Chorus: 2]

I wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
